That night, Balli learns about his father Shamshera's past. After learning the truth, Balli fakes his death and escapes from the fortress (The same way that his dad wanted to escape.

When Shamshera decided to move to the fortress, a few Khamerans decided to stay back, where they are now residing in a town named Nagina (Led by their leader Doodh Singh (Saurabh Shukla), and had camouflaged their identities, doing all petty jobs (like manual scavenging) in the town for a living and they were waiting for Shamshera, as he would come and help them regain their lost respect and dignity.

The British General Freddy Young (Craig McGinlay) is worried about the new Shamshera. Shudh Singh soon figures out that the robber strikes only where Sona performs.

They take up menial jobs all over the surrounding region. One of the merchants employing the new laborers, informs the British General and Shudh Singh about the possibility of a Khameran working for him. As the police pursue them, many are killed. With the information given by a gang member of Balli, Shudh Singh conducts a crackdown and confiscates all the gold that the gang had stolen until now, where Sona (who is pregnant with Balli's child) is caught by Shudh Singh, where he attempts to kill her and Balli's child, but the General stops him (The General is sympathetic to the Khameran cause). Though heartbroken, Balli plans to steal the Queen's Crown, which is supposed to arrive at Kaza.Despite tight security, Balli steals the Queen's crown and puts a blot on the British General's reputation. Balli makes a deal with the General to free the Khamerans, in exchange for the Queen's Crown. The General agrees and Balli returns with the surviving members of his crew to the Kaza Fortress. Shudh Singh kills the British forces, and places the blame on Balli, and takes the credit for returning the crown to the queen, but forgets about placing the blame on Khamerans.The Khamerans learn about Shamshera's sacrifice from Pir Baba, where they get enraged and breaks the fortress's gates to fight alongside Balli. They slaughter the police force. Balli fights Shudh Singh, and he hangs Shudh Singh in the same way, in which he hanged Shamshera.
