A team of special cops are investigating the mysterious murder of a high profile victim, who is the daughter of a retired justice. The team is led by ACP Avinash Verma ([[Manoj Bajpayee]]) who now works in narcotics division but has been brought on with a special team of serious crime officers to solve this case.

Pooja Choudhary, the daughter of Justice Choudhary was found on a tourist site on a hill top by four college students.

There was a big wound on her head. The forensic department had found some bits of copper on the wound. This indicates that whatever equipment was used for killing her was a copper one. Also as there were no indications of sexual harassments, justifies that it was not rape case. If it was not a rape case then it means that due to some personal reason the killer had killed Pooja and that the killer is just around them. There were no blood scattered from Pooja's head on the surrounding spot she was found in which indicates that she was killed in a different place and her body was dumped in the spot she was found in. Pooja last visited her best friend, Kavita's house in the hope to meet her and show something. But due to an exhibition in Pune, Kavita had gone to Pune and Pooja had spend the night in Kavita's house as it was very late. Kavita's husband Ravi is an MLA. He and Dadu the servant were there and they provided her a room. Now the mystery starts.

ACP Verma and his team begin solving the murder mystery and they have the a target to close the case and identity the killer in a week. ACP Verma begins investigation by questioning Pooja's family members and then MLA Ravi Khanna and his helper Dadu. After series of investigation and intriguing encounters ACP Verma solves the case and the plot is revealed. Pooja and Rishabh have an affair, which Rishab's fiance Kia comes to know about. Enraged, she visits Pooja after coming to know she's at Kavita Khanna's place and confronts Pooja to leave Rishabh alone , as he's her fiancé but Pooja asks her to speak to Rishabh and not her. This leads to Kia getting angry and she hits her hard on the head and not knowing what just happened she flees the spot. Kia is finally arrested and Rishab and MLA Ravi Khanna are also arrested for tampering with the evidence.
