The four friends agree and they give 10 Lakh in cash to Rajiv the next day afternoon. Thus the case was somehow brought to a closure

Three days later, Manu was stopped by Police while driving for using mobile phone. There he again meets the sub inspector Rajiv Kumar who issues a fine for him.

Manu comes back and discuss this with Koshy and Varky. They try to find out details on the girl whose body was found in their car. They come to know that the girl's name is Merin Jose. They search for the girl's details in Facebook and finds out that Sethu is one of her friends. They were shocked upon realizing that one among the four of them (Sethu) was actually part of the plot.
