Ruhana is shattered and blames Daanish for Noorie's death. Daanish later kills Rameez during a police operation, angering the ATS bosses, who wanted Rameez alive to find out which politician he was going to meet.
A grief-stricken Daanish is about to kill himself at Noorie's grave when a mysterious van appears, driving off when Daanish yells at it. Daanish finds a wallet lying where the van was, goes to return it, and meets its owner, a wheelchair-bound chess master named Pandit Omkar Nath Dhar (Amitabh Bachchan), who tells him he was Noorie's chess teacher. Pandit starts teaching Daanish chess and tells him about his own late daughter Nina, who used to teach chess to Ruhi (Mazel Vyas), the daughter of Welfare Minister Yazaad Qureshi (Manav Kaul). Nina mysteriously slipped down the stairs at Qureshi's house, dying. Pandit is convinced this was not an accident. Intrigued, Daanish tries to meet Qureshi, but police officers at his office threaten Daanish with arrest. Pandit meets Ruhana and asks her to help his class of children complete a drama that Nina wrote. Daanish meets Qureshi's daughter Ruhi at her school and asks her about Nina, but Ruhi is taken away. Qureshi threatens Ruhi for talking to Daanish. Pandit is later brutally attacked by Wazir (Neil Nitin Mukesh), an assassin sent by Qureshi, who warns Pandit and Daanish to stop chasing Qureshi.
