The people announce their verdict, and Chayavati is elected. Lotiram is devastated, as no one really pays attention to him anymore Even Tamancha will have nothing to do with him. Upset at the humiliation at the hands of Tamancha, Lotiram seeks the help of a former municipal employee, Yeshwant, and becomes a witness for the prosecution, so as to enable them to lay charges against Tamancha.
