He also turns into a fearless and death-defying cop with an insatiable urge to get vengeance. Later, he finds the murderer some years later on his policeman's way with the help of Usthad Abdul Rahman, an ex-owner of a cabaret who once was Ramu's enemy but now has sworn to give his life for Ramu after an initial fight, and settles the score with him.
