In a world of corruption, a young SP (Ajay Devgan) is sent the most violent & corrupt city in India in the hope that he can make things better. But soon he realises that the growing violence, most due to corrupt politicians and police officers that take law in their own hands, putting an end to the terror maybe a dream. He must try to stop the violence before it ruins the life of the people in the city and maybe his own.—Neo, Wellington, NZ
Superintendent of Police (SP) Amit Kumar is assigned the task of taking charge of Tejpur Police Headquarters, to which he agrees, and he and his wife, Anuradha, re-locate. Amit is appalled at the manner in which the police and it's officers conduct themselves. Corruption, inefficiency, bribery, nepotism, favoritism, and crime, especially at the hands of the police themselves, seem to be the rule, rather than the exception. His investigation into this nexus pits him against local politician, Sadhu Yadav, who is very influential, and can have Amit dismissed/transferred just by making a phone call to the Home Minister. Amit is undeterred by this, and arrests his brother, Sunder Yadav, and his men. While Sunder is released soon, some police officers, get frustrated with the system, and pour acid into the eyes of two of Yadav's men, blinding them. A hue and cry is raised by the media, crime almost comes to a standstill, and the police are regarded with respect. A official inquiry is commissioned, Amit is suspended and ordered to appear before the inquiry officials, where he must acknowledge that the crime did occur, and put the onus on the ones responsible, or simply deny any knowledge. Based on a true story in Bhagalpur, where 30 or so prisoners were blinded by prison guards and police in the 1980s in India.—rAjOo ([email protected])
The film begins with SP Amit Kumar (Ajay Devgan) taking charge of the Tezpur District in Bihar. He has shifted there with his wife Anu (Gracy Singh). The area is notorious for its crime rate, with Tezpur Police under the control of local don Sadhu Yadav (Mohan Joshi) and his son Sundar Yadav (Yashpal Sharma). Amit tries to instill honesty and courage in his subordinates, but in vain. Nunwa works for Sadhu Yadav & runs his illegal businesses. He also shares the profits with the entire police force. However the police liaison cheats him by keeping more money for himself and distributing less amongst the rest of his colleagues. So, Nunwa kills him & goes underground. Bacha Yadav (Mukesh Tiwari), who is a policeman, but a stooge of Sadhu Yadav visits his hideout, sees an infamous local goon Nunwa taking shelter there. Fearing that arresting him would open the lid on the nexus between Nunwa and the Tezpur Police, he kills Nunwa and misleads Police that he was killed in an encounter.
Suspect about the encounter, Amit Kumar summons Bacha Yadav, puts him off duty temporarily and also tries to keep him away from Sadhu Yadav and Sundar Yadav. Anxious that he would be transferred from Tezpur, Bacha Yadav, seeking the help of Sadhu Yadav, visits his home, where he finds out that he is being ditched by Sadhu and vows to settle score with them.Meanwhile, Sundar manhandles a Public Works Department engineer for not heeding to his word during a tendering process. Amit takes notice of the incident and also finds that a girl is missing from her home after being kidnapped by Sundar. Amit urges the mother of the girl to register a FIR against Sundar. Sensing an opportunity, Bacha Yadav urges Amit to give him one more chance, who obliges him. Bacha Yadav tricks Sundar into a factory where Amit and his men are waiting and after a brief scuffle, Sundar is arrested and produced in a local court, where the judge acquits Sundar on the account of lack of evidence against him. IN the background Sadhu had pressured the DIG to speak to the girl's mother to withdraw the FIR in exchange for the return of her daughter. The mother withdraws the FIR & the judge dismisses the case on lack of evidence.
Sadhu Yadav's men then try to vandalize a shop of local pan vendor after he testified against Sundar, before being arrested and jailed in the police station. There, a fight arises between the accused and Bacha Yadav and his colleagues. It reaches an extreme point with Bacha Yadav piercing the eyes of the accused and pouring acid, referred locally as "Gangaajal", on their eyes. The incident raises a hue and cry in the local media, which accuses Police of vigilante justice. But the public is sick of Sadhu & Sundar Yadav's rule & support the police in the action against the Yadav clan. The vigilante spirit spreads to other parts of the district & people start attacking goons on the streets. In one such incident, Amit's wife Anu is accidentally injured, when some locals are chasing some goons.
Angered by the incident, Amit Kumar orders his men involved to give their confessions in writing. While all, except Bacha Yadav, deny their involvement, Bacha Yadav writes his confession in a letter and submits it to Amit. When Bacha Yadav reaches his home, he finds his son and wife taken hostage by Sundar Yadav who, after a brief struggle, kills Bacha Yadav by shooting in his eyes. Enraged by the incident, Amit Kumar burns the confession letter of Bacha Yadav and issues a search warrant for Sundar and warns Sadhu Yadav to tell Sundar to surrender himself. Sadhu Yadav applies for an anticipatory bail for Sundar but before Sundar is produced in the court, he is arrested and is taken to jail. This time, the court rejects the bail application and orders the Police to keep Sundar in a 10-day custody.
However, Sadhu Yadav influences local home minister and the Deputy Inspector-in-General (Mohan Agashe) of the area, Verma, to release his son and also to send Amit on an emergency leave. After being released, Sundar disrupts the marriage of the girl who he kidnapped earlier and kills her mother in the process. Unable to bear the loss of her mother and the torture at the hands of Sundar, she kills herself in the presence of Amit.
Amit detains both Sadhu and Sundar and tries to take them to Police Station. However, locals stop Amit and demand that both be killed then and there itself, before being convinced by him that they would be tried as per the law. On the way to Police Station, however, both Sadhu and Sundar escape. Amit then catches up with them and brief fight takes place between them and the film ends with both Sundar and Sadhu getting killed by falling accidentally on chisels of a plow, which incidentally pierce through their eyes.
