Akash was able to figth back and escape the police. He tried to call for help but no one helped him until he hit it causing him to lose unconsciousness because then the police couldn’t find him.
Akash realized the next day that he was in an old clinic struggling with the people around him so the doctor even introdced himself to Sakhu and his wife. Akash aks them for help to get his eye checked by a doctor and they reply that they will help him.
but the truth is that this woman has an illegal activity where Sakhu will sell Akash’s body organ to the doctor. Akash was about to be operated on when someone called the Doctor and he found out what they were planning. Akash struggled with them but they worked together to inject him with sleeping pills.
Akash says he knows something that will make them 10million and mentions Sakhu’s hand tattoo until he passes out before they continue with the removal Sakhu stops the Doctor as he wonders how Akash knew about his tattoo.

However, Akash also had a plan which is why he really went to his house. The they called the policeman’s wife to inform her of what he did that they had evidence and threatened to give it to the media if she didn’t give the money her husband stole from the former actor.
The policeman’s wife was very angry when she found out what he had done but she also calmed down when she found out that Simi’s car was found and it is suspected that she committed suicide. Meanwhile, Simi is currently held captive by Akash and the Doctor takes a sample of her blood. Simi tries to bribe those who kidnapped him but Akash remind him not to believe him because of the crimes he committed.
The couple later called the police for the place where he brought the money in exchange for the evidence they were holding. His wife has finished the mess he got into. After completing their transaction with the police the couple also tied up Akash so that only they would benefit from the money.
Simi was also inside tied up and laughing at Akash after his colleagues beat him up. Akash told him that the police would kill him too because he was now a problem because Simi was silent and encouraged Akash to work together to escape. Akash didn’t want to agree but he had no choice either. The police are now on their way to the given place.
He was told to put the money in the elevator and take the evidence down but the police followed the elevator upstairs. He was catching up with a man there who tried to run away when he saw him but he hit him when he caught up with him. The man said the evidence was in the basement so he immediately took the elevator.
The man informed his wife that their plan was followed because they trapped him in the elevator and the police accidentally shot himself. Akash finally got out of the gind and looked for a way out with the help of Simi who was his eye. Sakhu immediately took his wife to the hospital to be saved.
Akash is looking for a way to pass while Simi is trying to get out of the tie when she removes the tie she intends to kill Akash but the Doctor comes but he also tries to kill him. Akash helps the Doctor until they manage to put Simi to asleep.
The Doctor thanked him and was ready to help him in return. The Doctors were also unable to save Sakhu’s wife because they are greedy and money could not restore her husband’s life.
Meanwhile the doctor put Simi in the back of the car and included Akash in his plan because his blood matched that of his transaction partner who would make a lot of money. He also planned to use Simi’s eye to see again but Akash did not agree to his paln because they will kill people.
Two year ago while Sophie was walking with her boyfriend in Europe she saw a sign that read A-Kash. When he went to see him he didn’t think that Akash was now a famous pianist in London after he played. Sophie approached suspecting that Akash had been cheating people until then.
The two went out to talk and Akash told them everything that happened where the Doctor stopped them after Simi woke up to go back to sleep while Akash was left inside the car. Simi manages to escape the doctor and takes over driving.
Akash thought that the doctor was driving so he kept begging him not to go ahead with what he was planning. Simi stopped the car and let Akash down while he was away he returned to Akash for good but due to an unexpected chance a farmer fired at the plague of his crops and hit the car causing it to lose control and killed simi.
Sophie found out why he didn’t come back to her, Akash said that he just wanted to forget everything that happened and his friend helped him to reach London before he left Sophie wondered why he didn’t accept the doctor’s offer. Akash didn’t answer and walked away from Sophie.
