One day, he loses his temper and slaps Annie by a well, triggering a fit which causes her to fall into it. He fails to save her, and his attempts are seen as proof that he killed her.

He goes to jail for her murder. The first parole application is rejected since his son does not sign it, thinking he will be targeted next.

After many attempts, he locates his son, but is distraught when he learns that he is a petty criminal, working for Sudarshan, the local drug kingpin.
