Meanwhile, Raghava exposes a scam run by Satyam, the general manager and brother-in-law of his company's owner, Bhupati. In response, Bhupati replaces Satyam with Raghava, which makes Satyam resentful. As Raghava enters high society, he begins drinking, which causes conflicts within his family.
Meanwhile, Satyam has an affair with secretary Nalini, whom her illiterate cousin Chandram endears, and she belittles him. Nalini becomes pregnant and pressurizes Satyam to marry her. He murders her and frames Raghava Rao. Though Chandram witnesses it, he is feeble as dumb. Lingam, Satyam's henchman, catches a photograph of the crime and clutches him. Currently, Pratap Rao sentences life to Raghava Rao. Lalitha, who affirms her husband as a convict, quits and joins as a tutor at a college, where its principal, Raja Rao, nurtures her as a sister.
