After meeting the potential bride, Arnab and his parents return to Calcutta by car. It’s raining heavily, and they accidentally hit an elderly woman, killing her. Attempts to find out her identity and locate her relatives lead Arnab to a forest hut, where he finds a girl named Rukshana, chained up. The police free the unfortunate woman, and after the mother’s funeral, a group of armed men with clearly ill intentions come to the hut to take the girl away. Frightened, Rukshana runs to Aranab, and he, feeling guilty about what’s happening, allows her to stay with him.
