Suraj Singh is a man victimized by Fate. To bear the loss of his love, Shilpa, he gets addicted to drugs. Then in a complete reversal of attitude he turns against drug dealers and vows to bring an end to the deadly drug smuggling which wreaks such havoc in people's lives. Dharmesh's daughter Vidya Agnihotri loves Karan. Karan idolizes Justice Dharmesh Agnihotri, unaware of the man behind the mask of respectability. Daaga hires Suraj and deliberately creates animosity between Karan and Suraj. The enmity between Karan and Suraj is sealed when Karan's father Chandrakant is framed for murder and sent to jail where he is killed.
