Plot

Sawar Ramchander is being court martialed for killing his senior officer and injuring another officer, Captain B. D. Kapoor. The story is about the truth of why Ramchander did this, and defence lawyer Captain Bikash Roy proves it slowly and steadily.

Captain Kapoor belongs to an upper caste while Ramchander belongs to a lower class. All army complaints from ordinary soldiers to the commanding officer is done to a subedar, who passes on the complaint. In this case, Subedar Balwaan Singh knew that Captain Kapoor used to call Ramchander filthy names and dishonor him with being the servant of Mr. Kapoor's house. On the day the killing, Ramchander is insulted again, being told "your mother must be sleeping with a high class person". He lost his temper and the incident happened. In between the hearing at the court Captain Kapoor has many times lost control and has shown a lot of hatred towards the guard at the duty, who he thinks is inferior to him. Also, while being questioned by Roy, he raises his hand to hit him and Kapoor's wife has called him an animal/beast, as he has beaten her up. Captain Kapoor loses control once again and gets into a scuffle with the guard on duty; during the scuffle Kapoor is shot in the chest.
