Omar alias Nalli Bhai and also changes his name as Chengiz.
1970: Earlier, when Jaidev was 10 years old, his parents were killed by a local goon named Rashid Khan at Durgapur, and then inspector Samir Sinha adopted him as his son, as being a maternal uncle.
1995: After working with Nalli Bhai, Chengiz starts to establish his own crime ring across West Bengal, UP and Bihar, but his life changes when he has to deal with his maternal uncle ACP Samir Sinha, who is appointed to eradicate Chengiz's crime ring. A cat-and-mouse game goes on between Jaidev and his maternal uncle for years.
2001: Chengiz managed to escape from Calcutta somehow in disguise and the police failed to arrest him, for which he used Daniel D'Souza since their faces were quite identical.
2022: At Marakkesh, Morocco, Jaidev alias Chengiz (now old) is seen having lunch at a hotel in the end scene, thus implying that he is still operating some parts of Kolkata from there itself (proving himself to be an era of the Calcutta underworld) and always keeping a constant close watch on his uncle Samir Sinha.
