One day a gang of dacoits raided the village and tried to abduct Madhu, but a young man from another neighbouring village foiled his attempts and saved Madhu. Ramesh the young man got injured seriously and was looked after by Madhu. They began to love each other. But it was a shock for the new chief Lakha. Being desparate he turned to villainy and induced Rehman, and old nomad of the village, who after the death of Madhu's father brought her up as his own daughter. Rehman took their affair very seriously and turned Ramesh out of his home.

Ramesh left Bina crying for love.
