[3] In India, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Aarusaamy was transferred out of Tirunelveli after killing corrupt politician Perumal Pichai.
After his return, his grandparents are shocked to see that he has opted for IPS and that he has been posted as a probationary Assistant Commissioner of Police in Tirunelveli.
When Ram asks the reason for their reaction, his grandfather tells the truth that, in fact, his father, Aarusaamy, has been a Deputy Commissioner in Tirunelveli.
Before dying, Saamy manages to open his dead wife's uterus and prematurely deliver his child (Ram).
Bhuvana's parents take Ram and escape to Delhi, while a truck accident planned by Raavana kills the rest of their family.
Ram later razes Perumal's statue, which had been illegally placed at an intersection by Raavana and caused traffic problems.
