Nelson goes down the secret passage and is delighted to see the tunnel end at Jhansi town. Meanwhile, Ghaus Khan orders that the huge boulders be moved so that they can reach Jhansi faster by this route. Laxmibai is shocked and angry to see Nelson dressed as a king and strutting in the palace. Unknown to Laxmibai, Nelson informs Rao Dulajo about the secret tunnel and tells him to ask Laxmibai, Tatya Tope and Raghunath to enter the fort from the tunnel so that anyone accompanying her would get killed. Laxmibai too talks about the tunnel to her confidantes, including Rao Dulajo. Rao Dulajo suggests that she take either Tatya Guru or Raghunath along too but she says that she will enter the fort alone. However, Tatya Guru insists that she not go alone, so she decides to take Rao Dulajo, much to his shock! Rao Dulajo immediately sends a note asking Nelson to stop his plans but Raghunath comes just then and he drops the note.
