Before the wedding could be formalized, Prakash unexpectedly leaves, and the Police notify Mukatlal that his house has been broken into and diamonds worth Rs.8 Lakhs have been stolen. Mukatlal's servant informs them that he is able to identify Prakash as one of five of the culprits, the police launch a search for him, and the wedding gets canceled.
