The law soon steps in and a police officer (Siddheshwar Zadbuke) begins investigating the case, on a complaint received from Sarjerao. Ms. Renu (Neelam Shirke) posing as a journalist also carries out an investigation, much to the satisfaction of the doctor, who at that point is feeling dejected by such allegations, in spite of his sincerity to his profession.
