His colleague and friend is Inspector Khan who always supports him. Arjun is in love with Kaajal who is the daughter of a senior police officer, ACP Amar Agnihotri. Arjun's father does not agree with the harsh ways he uses against the criminals. Near Mumbai, in the Central Jail, Jailer Lankeshwar uses his jail as a trade center for weapons and narcotics. ACP Amar is suspicious of Lankeshwar's actions. He requests the higher authorities to let Arjun go into the jail and gather evidence about Lankeshwar's evil deeds. The plan is that Arjun will fire a blank bullet on ACP Amar. Arjun pleads guilty in court and is sentenced to jail. In jail Arjun learns that arms, drugs and explosives are smuggled from the jail. He reports it secretly to the Home Minister and the New Police Commissioner through constable Hariram. But the fact is that ACP Amar was really killed inside the ambulance and Arjun is trapped. Hariram is killed in jail, Arjun's sister is gang-raped and father is also killed by Lankeswar's goon Azgar.
