Once, Chakrapani exposed a scam committed by Home Minister. So, the miscreants slay him, which is witnessed by Sarojini. Here, Sagar manipulates and cracks the case. Yet, Sarojini remains resolute and combats crime. But unbeknownst, she grips the Home Minister, and they accuse her of homicide and abuse when Sarojini gains excellent acclaim. Exploiting it, Chief Minister acquits and makes her contest as MLA in upcoming elections where she triumphs. Suri Babu stands in for her at every level, and they are nuptials. Gradually, Sarojini dethrones the Home Minister by divulging his diabolic shade and receives his seat.
