Bhawani reveals that he already knew the dark truth about Gitanjali, and his team decided to distribute gold among poor people. At one point, the army officers seek the help of police officer Durjan, but Bhawani Singh and his team members outwit him too.īut before Bhawani Singh can return the gold to Gitanjali Devi, a very shocking revelation is unveiled in front of him, that Gitanjali used him for her personal happiness and motives, and that Seher was her aide. Meanwhile, Seher Singh, boss Rudra Pratap Singh, and other army and police officers are hot on the trail of Bhawani Singh and the truck. The job now is to open the strong safe, something at which Guruji is adept. The group of four, at one point in the journey, takes control of the truck after throwing out Seher Singh and Somesh. The four follow the truck in which Seher Singh and his deputy, Somesh, are carrying the gold to Delhi. The loyal Bhawani Singh promises to retrieve the gold and return the same to Gitanjali, with whom he shares a romantic relationship.īhawani Singh, with the support of Daliya and Guruji, besides Sanjana, of course, chalk out an entire plan and seek out on a mission. Gitanjali briefs Bhawani Singh, her trusted lieutenant, about the gold and how she needs it all back to look after the people in her village.

As Rudra and Seher Singh are discussing, Sanjana, Gitanjali's trusted aide, is sent by her to eavesdrop on their conversation and get a whiff of their plan. Rudra asks his trusted lieutenants, Major Seher Singh and Captain Somesh, to transfer all the gold to Delhi safely to the government, and for that, he gives Seher Singh a custom-made truck with a powerful safe in it in which he keeps all the confiscated gold. Rudra follows Sanjeev's instructions and imprisons Gitanjali after forcibly taking possession of the gold rightfully belonging to the government but still held by her. To seek revenge, Sanjeev asks army officer Colonel Rudra Pratap Singh to confiscate all the gold in Gitanjali's possession and to put her behind bars.
Around the same time, Sanjeev, an influential person in the Congress government, had been snubbed badly by Gitanjali in 1973. In 1975, the then Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, declared the state of emergency in the country. Still, her ancestors did not hand it over to the government of the country even after the ancestral reign was over. As every royal family has loads of gold to themselves, so does this royal family. In 1973, Maharani Gitanjali was a princess to a royal family in Rajasthan.
