He helps take her to the police station where she claims to have been abducted by Pradeep himself. Mr. Verma arrives, and fed up with his daughters antics, he sends them to another town where they enroll in a school to learn music. The music teacher is Pradeep, a fact Geeta knew from before. She again helps her sister to go off on her honeymoon with her husband, while pretending to be Rita to keep up pretenses of her still being at the academy.
