One day he berates a student Jaggi aka Jagdish, for his unruly behavior, unknowingly that Jaggi was the nephew of Ramniklal and Mahesh Shah, who controlled the drug trade in the city, under the protection of a Don Daya Patil alias Mohan Joshi. Ajay stays as a paying guest with Mrs. DSa whose son Johnny is an ideal student for him. Jaggi takes his revenge by turning Johnny into a drug addict and getting him killed by a drug overdose. Then the entire locality is witness to the slit throat gory murder of Mrs. DSa on the crime infested Mumbai streets, by gangster Daya Patil.
