Sankaranarayanan was a local press baron. He and Anthony reported through the newspapers, the atrocities/rape faced by the female plantation workers due to the local police. Seeking revenge, the 3 police officers involved- Nambiar (Rajan P. Dev), Sathar (Rizabawa) and Thomas Sebastian (Bheeman Raghu) rape and murder Sankaranarayanan's wife and daughter and falsely implicate him in their murders. Sankaranarayanan reveals to Rahul that he is his son and they must take revenge against Nambiar, Sathar and Thomas Sebastian. Meera (Nambiar's daughter) is held captive by Sankaranarayanan. Rahul is against killing Meera since it was her father who had raped/murdered his sister and Meera must not be punished. Meera escapes the clutches of Sankaranarayanan with the help of Rahul. However while escaping Meera slips and hits a stone leading to her death.
Sankaranarayanan and Rahul murder Nambiar and Sathar but their attempt to kill Thomas Sebastian is foiled by SP Siddharth Mahadev. However Sona Nair murders Thomas Sebastian. It is later known that Janaki (Sona Nair) is the wife of Sankaranarayanan.
