Raj and Rita, who is becoming a lawyer, eventually realise that they are the same childhood friends, and they fall in love. Rita is now a ward of the Judge, who suspects that Raj is no good and eventually restricts Rita from seeing him. After his elaborate act, he returns the purse to the woman, who is soon revealed to be Rita. He snatches a woman's purse after she steps out of the car, but finds no keys, and pretends to pursue the thief to release suspicion from himself.

While planning a bank robbery with his friends, Raj realises they need an automobile. On the streets, Raj turns to a life of petty crime and finds a father-figure in Jagga, who helps him to become a talented criminal. Even though they are separated, Rita remains in Raj's thoughts. As a child, Raj befriends Rita in school, but he is removed from the school rolls while trying to maintain a job, and Rita moves to another city. She has a son, Raj, and they live in poverty as a result of being estranged from the father. The judge suspects that Leela was unfaithful to him with Jagga, and throws her out of the house. When he finds out that she has just become pregnant, he releases her after four days and plans a different kind of revenge. The judge believes that 'good people are born to good people, and criminals are born to criminals.' Jagga later escapes and kidnaps the judge's wife Leela for revenge. Judge Raghunath is a wealthy district judge who convicts Jagga, a man whose father was a criminal, of rape on little evidence.
