Inder... works for a corrupt politician, Pramod Ahlawat (Anurag Kashyap). He gains their trust and becomes an important member of their team. At a party, Bibek Mitra (Vipin Sharma), Pramod’s secretary, dies due to poisoning. Bibek’s son Gaurav (Abhishek Bharadwaj) confronts Pramod over it and tries to find the truth. Haddi is sent to eliminate Gaurav. Haddi, however, asks Gaurav to continue his fight against Pramod. He also reveals that he’s the one who had prepared the poisoned drink.
