Singh tricks Shahid into traveling to Varanasi for business but instead has him murdered by an assassin named Yadav. On a rainy day, Ramadhir Singh overhears Shahid's ambitions of taking over the coal mines from him. Shahid terrorises the local population to seize their lands and extract compliance.
He hires Shahid Khan as the new muscle-man of the coal mine. The British coal mines are sold to Indian industrialists and Ramadhir Singh ( Tigmanshu Dhulia) receives a few coal-mines in the Dhanbad region.
In 1947, Independent India begins to assert its authority over itself. The enraged Shahid kills the coal-mines muscleman who had denied him leave on that day. He is unable to be at his wife's side who dies during childbirth. They settle down in Dhanbad where Shahid begins work as a labourer in a coal mine. The Qureshi clans eventually find out and order the banishment of Shahid Khan and his family from Wasseypur. "Shahid Khan" ( Jaideep Ahlawat), a Pathan, takes advantage of the mysteriousness of the faceless dacoit Sultana, a Qureshi, by impersonating his identity to rob British ferry trains. The region was a hotbed of the local faceless dacoit Sultana Qureshi who robbed British trains in the night and thus holds some patriotic value for the locals. The village has been historically ruled by the Qureshi Muslims, a sub-caste of animal butchers who are feared by the non-Qureshi Muslims living there and Dhanbad by extension.ĭuring British colonial rule, the British had seized the farm lands of Dhanbad for coal which began the business of coal mining in Dhanbad. In 2000, Wasseypur and Dhanbad were redistricted for a second time into the newly formed state of Jharkhand where they remain. After India gained its independence in 1947, they were carved out of Bengal and redistricted into the state of Bihar in 1956. During the British Raj, Wasseypur and Dhanbad were located in the Bengal region. Nasir's narration describes the history and nature of Wasseypur. The scene cuts abruptly for a prologue by the narrator, Nasir. The leader of the gang then calls one JP Singh (Satya Anand) on his cell phone and reports that the family have been successfully executed but he is double crossed by JP Singh as a fire fight erupts between them and a police check post blocking their escape route. After heavy firing on the house, they retreat from the crime scene in a vehicle, convinced they have killed everyone within. They surround the house and unleash a wave of bullets and grenades on it with the intention of killing the family inside it.
