Description: The story of *Jana Gana Mana 2022* centers on the mysterious death of Professor Saba Mariyam, a respected and socially-conscious lecturer at Central University in Ramanagara. Her tragic demise sparks widespread student protests demanding justice, which are violently crushed by the police. This triggers a wave of national outrage against police brutality. Under mounting pressure, the Karnataka government assigns ACP Sajjan Kumar to investigate the murder.
During his investigation, Sajjan discovers that four individuals were responsible for burning Saba to death. He arrests them but is abruptly removed from the case due to political influence shielding the accused. Fearing they might escape punishment, Sajjan takes matters into his own hands. He stages a crime reconstruction, executes the accused, and becomes a public hero. However, human rights activists challenge his actions, leading to a court case.
Defense lawyer Adv. Aravind Swaminathan exposes a larger conspiracy orchestrated by the Karnataka government to gain political support in the upcoming elections, with Sajjan at its core. In reality, Saba was killed by a colleague she had accused of mistreating a student, leading to the student’s suicide. The colleague ran her over with his car. To exploit the situation, the home minister, advised by Sajjan, uses the case to secure public favor. Sajjan is eventually arrested, but it is revealed that he had confessed his role to Aravind through a fellow officer, seeking redemption for his actions.
