A police inspector (Kharaj Mukherjee) is pressured by the media to solve the case. Jyoti's mother (Soma Chakraborty) points to Bhanu Sardar (Arjun Chakrabarty), a poor, street-food vendor, accusing him of being a persistent stalker who is the perpetrator. Bhanu is dragged to the police station, where he vehemently pleads his innocence. He then reveals his heart-wrenching story: a poverty-stricken life in rural Purulia that forced him to move to Kolkata, where he took a job at a street food stall, and how he would see Jyoti pass by every day and fell hopelessly in love with her from afar.
