Plot The film starts by showing a lodge where a policeman, Assistant Commissioner of Police Ramesh Sarnaik, is raping a young girl and then goes out to meet the girl's boyfriend. The policeman blackmailed the couple because he caught them with drugs and the girl made a deal with him to have sex in exchange for dropping all charges. After the policeman leaves, he gets into an accident. When he regains his consciousness, he finds himself chained where a computer genius hacks a TV channel owned by Rahul Oberoi and broadcasts the live murder of Sarnaik. ACP Kabir Deshmukh, in charge of the case, interrogates Rahul Oberoi wherein Siya, a lawyer, tries to defend his case. Sia has a boyfriend, Ranveer Bajaj, with whom she has an intimate relationship. He is a prosecution lawyer.

During the investigation, Kabir considers Karan Parekh, Rahul's old business partner, to be the suspect. He traces Karan's location to a hotel and goes to catch him. Upon reaching the hotel, he discovers that Karan is missing and is also being murdered on live television. Later, Kabir finds out that Rahul and Karan were involved in raping a girl named Rajni, an employee in Rahul's company. Kabir reveals this to Ranveer and Sia wherein Ranveer reveals an old man had saved Rajni from being raped and filed a complaint against Rahul and Karan. At that time, Rahul and Karan were prosecuted by Ranveer in the court. However, Ranveer lost the case as the old man had died in a fire explosion in his house and was the only witness for that case.

Now, it is clear that Rahul was not involved in any of the murders. Eventually, the police consider Rajni to be the suspect. Rahul now decides to flee India, but is not allowed to leave because his sugar level drastically increases. In no time, the police get to know that Rajni has gone missing and learn that Mac, Rajni's boyfriend who is also an employee in Rahul's company, is involved in the murders.

As Kabir learns that Rahul is to be hospitalized, he goes in search of Mac to save Rahul from being killed, but finds him missing. Mac takes Rahul to the same place where Sarnaik and Karan had been killed. Rahul finds himself tied and gets shocked when he sees Sia there. Sia reveals to Rahul that she is the one who killed Sarnaik and Karan; the old man who helped Rajni didn't die in an explosion but was murdered by Rahul, Karan and Sarnaik and was, in fact, Sia's father. She then attempts to kill Rahul by increasing his sugar level. During the process, Rahul reveals to Sia that it was of no use to kill them as the real killer is still alive. He tells her that Ranveer was bribed by him and Karan to save them and also planned the murder.

A heartbroken Sia leaves after Rahul dies. Soon, Kabir discovers Sia's identity as the killer. Sia takes Ranveer to the same place where the murders were committed and reveals to him the truth and also tells him to admit his crime. Knowing this, Ranveer refuses to do so but is being tricked by Sia as she had called the police and the whole statement was recorded and traced during her call.

This leads to a fight between them in which Kabir arrives and fights with Ranveer, who dies during the scuffle. Kabir resigns from his job, and knowing what he and the other murder victims had done, decides to not press any charges against Sia and sets her free.
