What follows is a tense game of chess. Home Secretary Vishwanath (Prakash Raj) leads the negotiations, crippled by bureaucratic indecision. Major Raveendra (Nagarjuna) of the National Security Guard (NSG) stands ready to act, but his hands are tied by waiting politicians. The government decides to release Yusuf Khan, but a twist of fate kills the dreaded terrorist in a freak accident.
