As Kabir engages himself in a hand to hand fight with Samrat, Aakrith sneakily arrives at the front of the truck. Knocking out the driver, Aakrith takes the wheel of the van and prepares to stop.

However, before he can press the brakes, he hears some beeping noise under the passenger seat. Confused, he searches through the things to know where the noise is coming from. When he finally grabs the beeping device, his heart stops beating.

His eyes widen in horror as he stares at the bomb in his hands. Samrat wants to kill his baba by any means. For a second, his mind is too overwhelmed, not knowing how to react in this situation. He wouldn't have been worried if it was only him and Samrat here. But his baba is here as well. It's up to him to protect his brother. Not to mention, he can't let the bomb blast here on the road full of vehicles or else the innocent civilians will be caught up in their fight.

He swallows the lump in his throat when his eyes land on the time ticking on the bomb. Only 2 minutes left before it blasts. His hands shakes as he grabs the steering wheel, thinking if he can find any way.

Meanwhile on the roof of the van, Samrat and Kabir's fight still continues. Although Kabir is hurt, he throws Samrat off his feet, twice. But he can only carry on this fight for long.

"There is no chance to win against me. You have no idea what I have planned." Samrat yells, as he punches Kabir on his wounded side. He is aware of Aakrith driving the Van but he knows that the boy won't stop the vehicle, not here where the lives of people are in danger. That's how all the agents have been taught and he is using it to his own advantage.

Kabir clenches his jaw as he grimaces in pain. "Enlighten me then. Would love to hear 'em."

"Well initially, you were never part of my plan. But then I realized that I have to remove you first to let my plan move ahead."

The two of them trade punches as they fight. First Kabir is on top of Samrat, then Samrat is on top of Kabir, neither of them giving up. In the end, Kabir finally gains the upper hand, he maintains his position over Samrat and slams his head on the roof.

However, before Kabir can make any move, a bullet pierces behind his back. He turns around to look at the car, probably Samrat's men, following their vehicle with a gun pointing at him.

Kabir's grip on Samrat loosens as he falls on the roof of the van. A pool of blood forms beneath him, his shirt soaking the blood as he lies there, groaning in pain.

Samrat takes this as an advantage and gets on top of Kabir. Taking a hold of Kabir's shirt, he wraps his fingers around Kabir's neck, choking him to death. Kabir, in return, grabs Samrat's neck with all the strength he has to strangle the other man.

"You j-just never give up, do y-you?" Samrat says, gasping for some air.

"And you just never stop being a corrupt man, do you?" Kabir snaps back. "Your crimes were never brought to justice."

"That's right. Besides, you will never be able to show the evidence. Do you know why?" He leans forward, a dark glint shining in his eyes. "There is a bomb in this van."

A realization hits Kabir's face when he listens to Samrat's words. He had been wondering why Aakrith was not stopping the van. Now he knows the reason. He wanders his eyes here and there to see if he can find a way to end this.

"You lost, Kabir. You and your partner will die here today. Wish you had given up before, right?"

Samrat's words fall on deaf ears as Kabir's focus is somewhere else. With him lying down on the roof of the van, he strains his neck above to see the road ahead.
