Police Inspector Rajesh's father, also a police inspector, is killed while on duty. Rajesh swears that he will continue to do his duty, and bring the assailants to justice. Out of the four assailants responsible, he is able to apprehend three of them, but the fourth one, namely Manmohan is elusive. Manmohan learns of the imprisonment of his colleagues, and arranges for them to dramatically escape from prison. Rajesh, in plain clothes, soon tracks them down in a manor run by Santosh, whose husband is none other than Manmohan. Rajesh loves Sheela, who is the niece of Santosh. Sheela has a mute sister, Meera. One day Meera is molested and the evidence points at Rajesh.
