With the secret aid of his patronizing superior AIG Satam Vikram Gokhale, Sanjay takes up the arduous process of tracking the murderer.He asks help from an aide and his friend Kamble Virendra Saxena who tells him that his wife has ran away. The official police investigator of the case, Kedar Phadke Arbaaz Khan, clashes incessantly with Sanjay. They, separately, delve deeper into the case. Sanjay is determined to find the stoneman. He takes the help of his informer GhanshuAshraful haque.The Stoneman is shown to be killing poor people sleeping on streets beggars, workers, sweepers etc.. All the people on the streets think the killer is a midnight taxi driver named Mohammed. His wife Manali Rukhsar is upset with him and thinks that he is having an affair. One night someone throws a stone into Sanjays house through a window. Manali thinks it to be the mischief of boys of the locality; Sanjay feels it is the Stoneman. Another night the Stoneman tries to kill a beggar sleeping on the roadside but is saved by Kedar and some patrolling policemen. Sanjay and his car is spotted by Kedar. Sanjay finds that his investigation house has been visited by the Stoneman as he sees vermilion spread everywhere in the room.
