Next day Chandrika asks Ishaan 3rd time if he feels remorse. Ishaan says he knows he made a mistake but wants to be a free man. Chandrika says she has fallen in love with him and wants to help him escape (she gets him a small O2 cylinder). Meanwhile Mohan's deputy finds through his informer that Ishaan has a plan to escape. A search of Ishaan's belonging reveals that he has a map of the prison. He questions the guard on the cell and finds that Ishaan has bribed him to skip his name during roll call on republic day. The deputy allows the plan to go ahead and waits for Ishaan on the exit point from the prison at the nearby lake. However, Ishaan escapes in the food prepared by Jaggu (using the O2 cylinder for breathing), when it is loaded onto the truck to be taken for consumers outside the prison. He meets Chandrika at her house, at a predetermined date and time. He knows Chandrika that she doesn't love him and asks for the real story. Turns out Chandrika was the sister of the woman Ishaan shot that day at the bank. Chandrika takes Ishaan back to the prison at gunpoint, just in time to stop Jaggu's hanging. Ishaan tells Mohan that he escaped the bank after killing Chandrika's sister. On a road crossing, he pushed Nagya's wife and caused her death. He then went to Jaggu's house as he was man whom his wife was cheating with. Ishaan killed Jaggu's wife by throwing her down the stairs when she refused to run away with him.
