Anjali is found murdered in the couple’s house, and Siddharth is arrested as the prime suspect. The case becomes a nationwide sensation because of Siddharth’s fame, with Veerendra leading the prosecution in the pursuit of justice. The crime scene draws intense media scrutiny and public interest from the start.

During the bail hearing, Veerendra presents CCTV footage showing Siddharth at the house during the murder, suggesting his involvement. The court denies bail and Siddharth remains in custody as investigators press the case. Public attention intensifies as the legal process unfolds.

In interrogation, Siddharth does not confess. He instead predicts that Veerendra—despite being the prosecutor—will one day defend him, signaling his faith in Veerendra’s commitment to justice. The moment plants a seed that foreshadows a dramatic reversal in the case.

Veerendra revisits the crime scene and identifies a crucial loophole: the window shows signs of a break-in, which implies someone else could have entered. His meticulous review challenges the assumption that Siddharth acted alone. The new finding motivates a deeper investigation.

In the next hearing, Veerendra switches sides and defends Siddharth, arguing that Munna is the real killer. He outlines Munna’s past harassment of Anjali and his presence near the scene before the murder. The courtroom shift marks a dramatic turn in the case.

The court accepts Veerendra’s defense, Siddharth is released, and an arrest warrant is issued for Munna. The reversal exposes Munna as the primary suspect in the public eye. The case moves from the courtroom to ongoing pursuit and investigation.

After his release, Siddharth tracks down Munna and beats him, apparently seeking vengeance for his wife’s death. Police intervene, saving Munna and transporting him to the hospital. The confrontation intensifies the rivalry between the two men.

In court, Munna confesses to killing Anjali but shows no remorse, and the court sentences him to death. The confession closes a key chapter of the case but leaves questions about the surrounding events. The courtroom drama reaches its peak as the verdict is delivered.

Days after the ruling, Munna’s mother arrives with a large bag of cash, pressing Siddharth to return money and help her son. Siddharth and Nayak reveal the deeper truth: Siddharth bribed Nayak to fabricate the evidence loophole and erase footage showing Munna leaving the house. The motive threads together guilt, poverty, and corruption. The revelation shocks the public and reshapes the narrative of the case.

Veerendra continues his pursuit of justice and makes another attempt against Siddharth, which ends in a failed attack that leaves him injured and paralyzed. The blow to his career and health heightens the stakes of the moral battle at play. The once-unstoppable prosecutor becomes a vulnerable figure in a case built on deception.

Believing Veerendra is no longer a direct threat, Siddharth reveals additional crimes: days before the murder, he killed a scooter rider while drunk driving, and Anjali urged him to confess. He admits that fear of police action drove him to lie or cover up. The confession exposes the full extent of his guilt.

On Munna’s execution day, Siddharth meets Munna in jail as per his last wish. Veerendra arrives with a Governor’s order halting the execution and authorizing Siddharth’s arrest, obtaining the order by presenting spy camera footage of Siddharth’s confession. The order devastates Siddharth’s public image and seals his fate.

Faced with the collapse of his public image and the unraveling of his schemes, Siddharth commits suicide. The truth about the murder and the manipulation of the evidence remains a haunting climax to the tale. The film closes on a somber note about justice and guilt.
