Shankar is able to trace Raju and trades Kamini for Rs 10,000. Kamini is heartbroken with the reality. Raju meets Usman and realizes that he did a wrong thing by cheating Kamini as he abused her trust. He thinks about giving up the life of crime. Ranjeet pays off Shankar for Kamini, while Kamini slips past his custody just in time. Coincidentally, she seeks shelter at Shankar's home (whom she recognizes from his photo in the house) and Roma comes to know everything about Shankar. She is shocked, when she sees that Shankar is pursuing Kamni, who was trying to run away. Roma tries to commit suicide (after running from home, and on the railway tracks), but is saved by Raju in the nick of time and takes her home. Shankar is heartbroken (the police show a blood soaked shawl that he had gifted Roma) and vows to give up all his criminal activities. He also gives shelter to Kamini (who didn't run away as she wanted to help Roma) and keeps her at his home. He returns the money to Ranjeet, which infuriates him and he wants revenge. Kamini respects Shankar for his gesture and treats him like an elder brother. Meanwhile, Kamini has a change of heart towards Raju when she learns (She witnesses that Raju was trying to find an honest job for himself and admits that he was a pickpocket earlier) that Raju has given up his pick-pocketing and wants to lead a dignified life with her. Ranjeet decides to use Raju as a pawn to exact revenge. Via Uncle Chopra Kamini learns that Raju is married and is about to become a dad.. Kamini sees Raju distributing sweets for Roma's successful delivery and misunderstands the entire situation. When Raju goes to meet Kamini, this time Shankar beats him up. Ranjeet befriends Raju. Through Raju, he manages to get Shankar arrested in an attempt to smuggle gold (his old commitment and final job), but Shankar somehow manages to hide the gold (Bogey number 6800 in a railways yard) before being arrested. In order to create a rift between Kamini and Raju, Chopra tells her that Raju got Shankar arrested. Kamini straight away goes to his home to find the truth and comes across Roma and her newborn baby. Kamini tells Roma that Shankar is truly sorry for his acts and has given up all his criminal activities. Kamini inform Shankar that Roma is alive and has their baby. Ranjeet manages to kidnap Kamini and desires to marry her. Kamini reveals that she has not inherited any wealth and her uncle was lying to him. Ranjeet then plans to trade her with Shankar for the smuggled gold. Shankar escapes the prison to see his wife. Shankar encounters Raju and Raju is able to nab him and tie him up. Raju trades Shankar for Kamini and returns home with the purse he had pocketed of Shankar. At home, when he checks the contents he comes to know that Shankar is his long lost brother and goes to save Shankar. The film ends with a typical Bollywood climax, where Raju is able to save Shankar and Ranjeet is killed in the ensuing fight.
