Description: Officer Shivani Shivaji Roy is stationed in Kota, where she faces off against a brutal serial killer who rapes and murders women. The story intensifies when Sunny, the killer, sees Shivani on TV during a press conference where she vows to catch Latika’s murderer. Sunny taunts her by infiltrating her home, stealing her sari, and using it to kill a journalist. He then manipulates a local tea-seller, Pravin, into carrying out a suicide blast to kill the journalist’s wife, taking his place as the tea-seller to keep an eye on Shivani, posing as a mute boy named Bajrang.
Shivani brings in Lahanya, a child from the slums who witnessed the blast, but Sunny kills him in the police station’s restroom. Amid media outrage, Shivani realizes Sunny’s motive: he is not afraid of being caught but is driven by ego, seeking fame and pleasure through his heinous acts. Sunny kidnaps another bold woman, but the police manage to save her despite being brutally tortured. The media criticizes the police, and Shivani faces the threat of being transferred. Determined to catch Sunny before her transfer, she races against time.
Sunny, still disguised as Bajrang, deliberately injures himself and gets a ride from Shivani. Before he can attack her, she recognizes him, and a fierce fight ensues, but he escapes. Shivani discovers that Sunny’s next target is Sunanda, a female politician. On the night of Diwali, Shivani and her team track Sunny to a local couple’s house, where he has taken their daughter and Sunanda hostage. Shivani confronts him but is knocked unconscious and tied up, setting the stage for a climactic showdown.
