Plot

DSP Agnishwar Ray (Mithun Chakraborty), a stone hearted and honest police officer who is very loyal to his duty, is called the 'Baap (father) of all the criminals'. According to his theory, he always gives a every criminal a chance of redemption. On any additional meetings, the criminal goes to hospital or morgue. His aggressive approach keeps him being transferred to other stations. His 25th transfer is to Uttarpara police station. His wife, Sandhya Roy (Debashree Roy), is pleased with their relationship and does not attribute an angry nature to Agnishwar'sbehavior.

In the Keyatola area of Uttarpara, there lives a good-hearted local vagabond gangster named Surya Sinha (Jeet). Other goons and the police avoid him intensely. Agnishwar confronts Surya at the police station about being agoon and Surya warns Agnishwar that if he enters Keyatola there will be trouble. Agnishwar is in Keyatola and they fight but he cannot be arrested because Agnishwar must go to his ill wife.

Meena, the daughter of the reputed teacher of the locality Master Moshai, has been brutally gang-raped, and left to die, after attending with friend Barsha (Koel Mallick) a college function. Ranjit Saha (Bharat Kaul), the younger brother of the local MLA named Joy Chand Saha (Rajatava Dutta), abducts Meena and Barsha, the latter escapes. Surya learns of the assault by Ranjit on Meena and attacks Ranjit at his home. Ranjit's bodyguards call the police and Surya is detained.

Agnishwar learns from Surya why Ranjit was attacked. Ranjit is arrested and Barsha agrees to give evidence in court. MLA Saha seeks revenge by having the henchman Kallu (Sumit Ganguly) kill Agnishwar's pregnant wife Sandhya while marketing. Kallu attacks her, but the attempt to kill her is thwarted when Surya sees Sandhya attacked. Agnishwar is thankful to Surya and comes to learn that Surya wants to be a police officer but for the circumstances that made him a goon.

The MLA gets Agnishwar put in prison and his wife Sandhya murdered. Agnishwar starts his revenge; he slowly kills all the persons responsible for putting him behind bars and the attempted killing of his wife, ending with the death of the MLA and himself at the hands of Surya, who has by now become a police officer.
