- The Central Bureau of Investigation deputes two officers to investigate the disappearance of three medical students, which they believe to be an incident of 'honour killing' in a small, closed community.
- Giving in to intense media pressure, the Home Minister in Delhi finally instructs the Central Bureau of Investigation to depute Special Officer Siddhant Chaturvedi to travel to Jhanjhar, Bihar, and work together with Pratap Kumar to try and locate three medical students from M.K. Gandhi Medical College. The three students, Gautam Sharma, Dhirush Patel and Dinu were in Jhanjhar to celebrate Dusshera and were scheduled to return back to Delhi. Ramesh Jain, the student Union President, informs the media that the trio were arrested by Jhanjhar Police and since then their whereabouts are unknown. Jhanjhar Police deny that the students were ever there, and are hostile, compelling the CBI to bring in more agents. While differences crop up between investigative tactics of the two agents, upper Caste Hindus, aided by the police, target the fearful Dalits and lower-caste Hindus, brutally torturing them and setting their houses on fire. With the entire local community refusing to come forward with any information, and pressure from the Chief CBI Chief to withdraw, the duo must now consider using other methods to try and find out what really happened to the three students.—rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
- It's supposedly based on a true story which is yet to be substantiated. Three friends from Delhi go missing in a small village - Jhanjhar. It's two months and there is no clue about their disappearance. The media and students movement demand action from the authorities. It's then that the government orders a CBI inquiry with officers Sidhant Chaturvedi (Akshaye Khanna) and Pratap Kumar (Ajay Devgn) to solve the case. They find it difficult to solve the case as the local police and other authorities are a part of Shool Sena, which is responsible for illicit activities. Sidhant and Pratap also face Ajatshatru Singh (Paresh Rawal), a ruthless police officer who misuses his power & thwarts the investigation at every step. Not only that even the locals don't support the investigation. One of the boys Dinu had relatives in the village & had come to visit his sister Jamunia (Reema Sen) & her hubby Rukmilaal with his 2 friends for Dusshera. But Jamunia and Rukmilaal deny that the boys ever came to Jhanjhar. That night Rukmilaal is kidnapped.
They find the car used by the 3 men in the local river & its clear someone wanted to make it look like an accident. Sidhant figures the car was lowered into the water by crane. As Pratap & Sidhant make headway, they are attacked by members of Shool Sena, who Pratap explains are the local mafia. Sidhant is able to track the owner of the crane, & is about to capture when him when his is run down by a man in the jeep. The same man is later found in police station & Pratap refuses to hand him over to Sidhant and Pratap. It's with the help of Roshni (Amita Pathak) who's the daughter of a rich and powerful villager Omkar Sukur (who was a minister & is now the strong-man & controls the administration), and Geeta (Bipasha Basu), who's Ajatshatru's wife and Pratap's former love, that the investigation moves ahead. Roshni's SIM was found in the car that was recovered. Sidhant has to call police force from Delhi to arrest Roshni, when Omkar refuses to hand her over.
Geeta was the daughter of Pratap's teacher & both fell in love. But Geeta's father pleads Pratap to leave her alone as Pratap is from untouchable caste & if he marries Geeta, no one will marry the teacher's other 2 girls. Roshni reveals that Dinu (a Dalit) loved her & she hoped that him getting admission into Delhi medical college would get him to accepted by her ultra conservative family. But her dad refused & arranged her marriage. Thats when Dinu came to the village with 2 friends to elope with Roshni & rescue her. They escape in a car but are intercepted by police & Omkar's men & Roshni is taken away. She reveals that Ajatshatru & another man Sethu were on the scene. Sidhant files a case in court but it falls apart due to lack of direct evidence (bodies of the 3 boys, & Roshni's failure to identify Ajatshatru in a lineup). Its clear that the judge is in cahoots with Police & Omkar.
Dinu was a Dalit & his community protests, with a march, which is brutally broken up by police. That night a mob attacks the Dalit village, led by Shool Sena & helped with a blind eye from police. Jhamunia's son is killed in the attack & she is distraught. CBI pulls up Sidhant for turning the case into a communal riot & asks him to wrap up the investigation. Jhamunia is Geeta's friend & Geeta finally cracks when she sees the woman who has lost her brother, husband and son. Geeta convinces Jhamunia to talk to Pratap & tell him the truth, but Jhamunia is kidnapped. Sidhant & Pratap follow, but find Jhamunia on the roadside with her tongue cutoff.
The suspense behind the missing three friends is revealed by Geeta who witnessed the killing of these boys by Omkar helped by her husband Ajatshatru. Ajatshatru had brought the 3 boys back home where first Omkar kills Dinu & then Ajatshatru kills the 2 friends as they were sons of powerful people in Delhi who would have revealed everything if they escaped. Geeta witnessed this from behind a door. CBI finds the bodies based on her testimony.
Ajatshatru comes to know about her wife Geeta helping CBI. He then beats Geeta brutally with his belt behind closed doors and leaves her hospitalized. Pratap, filled with anger, traps each of the criminals by hacking their respective phone's databases and capturing their illicit activities on CCTV cameras. When it is Ajatshatru's turn, Pratap cuts him with a sharp razor and beats him brutally and mercilessly in a saloon behind closed doors. They also entice one of the henchmen to become their witness by convincing Shool Sena that he is already working for them. Shool Sena attacks the henchman & drives him straight to Pratap At the end all the criminals are killed by Jhamunia (Reema Sen) after they are sentenced by the court. She was given the weapon by Sidhant.
