Description: The film “Raid 2018” follows IRS officer Amay Patnaik (played by Ajay Devgn), who is transferred to Lucknow as Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax. He lives contentedly with his wife Malini (Ileana D’Cruz) until he receives an anonymous tip about black money hidden by Rameshwar Singh (Saurabh Shukla), a powerful Member of Parliament from Sitagarh. Despite Rameshwar’s reputation for evading taxes, Amay, determined to uphold justice, leads his team to conduct a raid on Rameshwar’s residence.
Initially, Amay and his team face strong resistance from Rameshwar’s hostile family. Despite a thorough search, they find nothing. Just as hope seems lost, an anonymous letter with a map reveals the hidden money’s location. Amay’s team uncovers assets worth millions by breaking through walls, ceilings, and storerooms based on the map.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Rameshwar seeks help from the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, who refuses to intervene, citing the raid’s legality under Central Government jurisdiction. Rameshwar then appeals to the Central Finance Minister and even the Prime Minister, but Amay remains steadfast in his mission. Despite political pressure, Amay insists on written orders to halt the raid, knowing such a move could tarnish the government’s reputation. Ultimately, the Prime Minister declines to interfere, and the raid continues, showcasing Amay’s unwavering integrity and determination.
