That night, a police officer arrives at the scene and after seeing the dead bodies, informs an unnamed politician (netaji) over the radio that the task he had told has been completed.

That night, Zafar Khan's followers show him guns that have been acquired from Pakistan and smuggled in through Kashmir to be used once the riots start.

An agitated group of Kar Sevaks comes to Shastri, calling the 500-year-old Babri Masjid is an insult to their religion and demand concrete steps need to be taken for the construction of the Ram Mandir.

The letter incenses Khan as he feels Muslims and their effort for the independence of India are being omitted and he tells his followers to prepare to defend the Babri Masjid.

A group of Muslims confronts Zafar Khan's before his Madrassa and tells him that they do not want to follow his words and prefer good relations with Hindus.

After Rehana overhears her father-in-law Zafar Khan planning the assassination of Shastri, she calls her friend Bharti who in turn alerts the police.

The Maulvi tell him and his father Zafar Khan that as per the Shariah Law, Arif is not allowed to remarry Rehana unless she goes through a Nikah halala first, meaning she has to marry another man, who must consummate their marriage, and then give her Talaq.

When Naushad Ali hears that his daughter Rehana must go through Nikah halala in order to remarry Arif, he suffers a heart attack and collapses.

But when he undresses her to commit Halala, he is enamored by her youthful beauty and the two have sex all night, while Arif listens to Rehana moan from outside regretting his decision to divorce her.

In the meanwhile, Bharti approaches Syed Waseem Rizvi, the head of the Uttar Pradesh Shia Central Wakf Board for help in promoting peace during these uncertain times.

Rizvi is also in favour of avoiding bloodshed and agrees on talking to Zafar Khan on this matter as well as to arrange for Shastri's bail.

The next day, Syed Waseem Rizvi visits Khan in his madrasa and reminds him that the Babri Masjid was built after destroying pre-existing temples.

That night, Arif sees Rehana sitting under a tree and crying and she explains him that she is ashamed how Zafar Khan is abusing her in the name of the Sharia.

When Khan excuses himself again by saying he cannot complete Halala, Arif pulls out a gun and threatens to shoot himself unless his father gives Talaq to Rehana immediately.

Rizvi calls a meeting of eminent Shia scholars and holds a speech in which he expresses his concern about the riots and suggests to leave the Ram Mandir to the Hindus and build a 'Masjid-e-aman' (Mosque of peace) about 150 kilometres away.

While visiting Rehana the same night, Bharti overhears Zafar talking to his contact in Pakistan and conspiring to get Shastri killed.

Rizvi tells Shastri that he was aware that Zafar Khan has become like the devil, but never thought he would be responsible for the murder of thousands including Bharti and even commit Halala with his own daughter-in-law.
