One day he helps Shankerlal and his family and in return, Shankerlal invites him to his house. Shankerlal's wife and Pinky also shower love on Babu. Babu having led a tough childhood feels grateful tfor the respect given to him. Meanwhile, a goon rapes Kammo and Babu kills him, landing in jail for 2 years.
After his release he is shocked to find Pinky begging in the streets and finds out that Pinky's mother is now a widow. His sole aim is to help them. He drives a hand-drawn rickshaw and uses the money to send Pinky to a decent school.
