They leak the papers using their extensive network, also providing proxy candidates and latest technology based cheating. The team makes profit worth crores from students who have paid money. Apurva is controlled by Bhaiyyaji, who manages the trade from Varanasi.
To find a solution, a special police taskforce headed by Inspector Aditya Singh is set up. Aditya is one of Apurva's former best friends, and they are now on opposite sides of the law. The team tries everything but Apurva and gang come up with new ideas everytime. After he successfully cons the banking examination for one in Mumbai, Bhaiyyaji gives him the next task of engineering examination. But the cops are close and they arrest three members of Apurva's gang. They do not reveal anything under torture.
Apurva asks Bhaiyyaji for help, but he now wants to join a party and, in line with his political aspirations, he doesn't help them. Apurva and Bhaiyyaji hence clash and they set up individual operations now. Aditya is almost on the verge of catching Apurva red-handed, but his plan is again foiled as Apurva and gang, along with Bhaiyyaji's daughter Prerana, who loves Apurva, are shown going to the other end of the Indo-Nepal border masquerading as police officers.
