Plot

Judge Jagdish Verma's family consists of his wife, Urmila, and their sons, Kunal and Karan.

Judge Verma has an accused named Shankar Yogi in his courtroom. He was once Shankar's defence lawyer, but now must pass a sentence against him. Shankar pleads his innocence, but the Judge finds him guilty and Shankar is sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. He swears to avenge this injustice and humiliation.

Shankar serves his term and is released from jail, seeking revenge against Judge Verma and his family. He abducts a pregnant Urmila, which her family doesn't know yet. He holds her captive for a few months. Urmila gives birth to Tina but Judge Verma rejects the newborn, assuming that his wife was impregnated by Shankar, who then plans to use Tina to destroy the judge and his family. The family is instructed not to contact the police, for the safety of Urmila and to keep this abduction a secret. Tina grows up in the company of Shankar and his men, without knowing her biological family. She is then used to ensnare the family into more deceit and entrapment under the direction of Shankar, leaving the Verma family no choice but to go along with Shankar's plan.
