Desperate to join the police force, Ajay borrows money with the help of a friend and bribes officials to secure his position. However, when his father exposes the corruption scandal, Ajay faces pressure from creditors. To repay the debt, he and his friend attempt to kidnap a government official.
The plan backfires when they discover the target is under the protection of Gaya Singh, a henchman of Tabrez Alam, a powerful MLA and underworld kingpin involved in kidnapping schemes. Ajay and his friends are imprisoned and abused by Gaya Singh.
Seeking help, Ajay approaches DSP Shukla, who has a strained relationship with Gaya Singh. With Shukla’s assistance, they escape jail. Ajay then kidnaps Sooraj Mal, a prominent businessman and political figure who was previously untouchable due to high security.
