== Plot ==
Sumair Azad is an [[Narcotics Control Bureau|NCB]] officer, who along with his deputy Jagadish Prasad alias Jaggi in [[Gurugram]] bust down a drug deal, leading the drug lord Sikandar to kidnap Sumair's son Atharva in exchange for retrieving the bag of [[cocaine]]. With no other option left, Sumair agrees to retrieve the bag from the NCB headquarters, and bring it to his club for the exchange. Sumair's act of hiding the bag in the men's toilet is noticed by his assistant Aditi Rawat, who becomes suspicious. Thinking that Sumair is involved in [[drug smuggling]], Aditi informs her superior Sameer Singh and begin to pursue Sumair, taking away the bag of cocaine from the toilet in the process.

When Sumair realises that the bag of cocaine has gone missing, he decides to return a bag containing packets of [[flour]] to Sikandar, thinking that he and his cronies, including Hameed Shaikh, will not realise the difference. Unfortunately, Sikandar and Hameed soon find out that Sumair had cheated them and decide to kill him. Caught between Sikandar's gang along with Aditi and Sameer, Sumair confronts Aditi and tells her that contrary to her suspicions, he has been working undercover and had planned the entire operation to expose Sameer and Jaggi's involvement in drug smuggling for Sikandar.

Sumair then rescues Atharva without Sikandar's knowledge and Sikandar is arrested by Aditi and Sameer. While taking Sikandar to prison, Aditi finds out that Sumair placed Jaggi's mobile phone in her jacket, and on reading the messages in it, she finds out that Sumair had been speaking the truth all along, realising that Sameer and Jaggi are involved in drug smuggling and had tried to frame Sumair. Though Sameer tries to resist arrest, killing Sikandar in the process, he is eventually brought to justice. While talking with Aditi about exposing more drug dealers, Atharva finds drug packets in Sumair's car, thus revealing that Sumair is also involved in drug smuggling. Atharva keeps quiet about this, where he and Sumair leave for a short trip.
