Meanwhile due to heavy rains, an ill Guddu starts searching for her dad at the night time and gets giddy due to hunger and falls on the road. Jeevanlal returns home and sees she has fever. Then Jeevanlal gets arrested for assaulting a Pharmacist as he is unable to afford medicines suggested by doctor to treat his ill daughter, Guddu. Subsequently Jeevanlal gets jailed, his repeated and vain attempts to escape from prison to meet his daughter only end up increasing his sentence, leaving Guddu to fend on her own. 8 years pass by. Guddu went to a school as while she was searching for her dad, a Marathi woman saw her and started to allow Guddu grow up in her house. Meanwhile during transfer from one jail to another, some prisoners die due to an accident, where Qaidi No. 8 Jeevanlal is presumed to be dead. Meanwhile Jeevanlal manages to escape successfully from that accident but due to his hunger for food he goes into a bunglow and when he is about to pick food, the owner of the bunglow comes to the room but Jeevanlal shows knife at him but the owner of the bunglow just by glancing at Jeevanlal, says this man is not a thief for sure and introduces himself as Judge Dindayal. Jeevalal says do not send me to prison back as I have escaped only to meet my daughter and says he will kill Dindayal if he raises an alarm. Owner Dindayal asks his servant Bhola to give Jeevanlal food properly and says "Let him eat and sleep in our house in the same room where my deceased son used to sleep". The same night again Jeevanlal tries to run and steals a golden idol from the house. Bhola informs his owner that the guy who came last night has stolen the golden idol of God and ran away from the room. But the police of that city catch him while trying to sell that idol to a merchant and police inform the owner that the thief confessed that idol was stolen from his house only. Then the owner of Bunglow and the idol - Judge Dindayal - says this person is my friends's son named J.V. and has not stolen the idol but in fact the owner of idol. Dindayal, though aware that escaped convict is at his home, decides to let Jeevanlal not get caught in hands of police. Dindayal asks him why he is angry at god and then Jeevanlal narrates his sad story which happened in recent days. Dindayal says since his only son has already died and since he feels he can trust Jeevanlal, though he is a judge he is ready to give Jeevanlal a new lease of life, with the new name J.V as he felt that fate was actually playing the game in life of both himself and Jeevanlal as he though old is forced to live in the world whereas his young son died a premature death and on the other hand Jeevanlal was forced by fate to commit a crime which was ultimately to take care of his daughter but now even that daughter has got separated from him. Dindayal lets Jeevanlal stay in his house and take care of his assets and advices him not to stop praying to God and gives him a bag full of cash for Jeevanalal to start a new life.
