Plot

Sumair Azad is an NCB officer who, together with his colleague Jagadish Prasad alias Jaggi, busted a narcotics trade in Gurugram, prompting drug lord Sikandar to abduct Sumair’s son Atharva in exchange for the bag of cocaine. Sumair agrees to grab the bag from the NCB headquarters and deliver it to his club for the exchange because he has no other choice. Aditi Rawat, Sumair’s assistant, notices Sumair’s move of hiding the bag in the men’s toilet and becomes suspicious. Aditi notifies her superior, Sameer Singh, that Sumair is involved in drug smuggling and begins to chase Sumair, removing the bag of cocaine from the toilet in the process.

When Sumair finds the cocaine bag has gone missing, he chooses to return a bag containing flour packets to Sikandar, believing that he and his associates, especially Hameed Shaikh, will not notice the difference. Unfortunately, Sikandar and Hameed discover Sumair’s deception and plan to murder him. Sumair meets Aditi, who is caught between Sikandar’s group and Aditi and Sameer, and tells her that, contrary to her suspicions, he has been working undercover and has orchestrated the entire operation to reveal Sameer and Jaggi’s involvement in heroin smuggling for Sikandar.

Sumair then saves Atharva without Sikandar’s knowledge, and Aditi and Sameer arrest Sikandar. Aditi discovers that Sumair concealed Jaggi’s mobile phone in her jacket while transporting Sikandar to prison, and upon reading the messages in it, she discovers that Sumair had been speaking the truth all along, recognising that Sameer and Jaggi are involved in drug smuggling and had attempted to frame Sumair. Despite his attempts to resist arrest, killing Sikandar in the process, Sameer is eventually apprehended and brought to court. Atharva discovers drug packets in Sumair’s car while conversing with Aditi about exposing more drug dealers, revealing that Sumair is also involved in drug smuggling. Atharva remains silent about this as he and Sumair depart for a brief journey.
