The undercover operation leads to Veer Singh 'Veeru' being arrested by Inspector Mahima Basore. At a press conference, SP Angrez Singh Randhawa announces the arrest, but Mahima's role stays unacknowledged by her senior. Saurabh points out the omission, but Mahima ignores him.

Two exotic-breed jackfruits disappear from MLA Pateria's garden in Moba, triggering Mahima's assignment. The police unit is pressured to recover the fruit before it ripens, while Mahima faces caste-based discrimination from subordinates. SP Randhawa promises a promotion to DSP if she solves the case, but she refuses and suggests promoting Saurabh instead.

After questioning the MLA's family and staff, Mahima narrows the suspects to Birwa, the recently fired gardener. Birwa had tried to file a police complaint for his missing daughter Amiya but was repeatedly turned away by constables, including Saurabh. The pressure to present Birwa as thief at the next day's press conference grows.

At the press conference, Mahima declares that Amiya, Birwa's daughter, was responsible for the theft, turning the case into a missing-person matter to rescue Amiya. She travels to Birwa's village to question him and discovers Amiya was likely kidnapped by three thugs in a pink Nano, a vehicle stolen from Mishra. The focus shifts from jackfruits to the missing girl.

Local journalist Anuj discovers Birwa had falsely confessed under police pressure. Mahima bribes him with a file containing the details of 43 missing teenage girls to suppress the truth.

Relying on intelligence from Saurabh, Mahima's team tracks the kidnappers to Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh. There they find Amiya on the cusp of being trafficked to Gulab Seth.

A combative confrontation leads to the arrest of the traffickers and Amiya is rescued from imminent trafficking.

In court, Amiya pleads not guilty while Birwa testifies that his daughter had nothing to do with the jackfruits. The prosecution is taken aback as Mahima's deception is revealed and the ethics of the investigation are questioned.

Mahima explains the irony of an entire police force chasing stolen jackfruits while a missing girl case was neglected. The judge considers the broader context, highlighting the need for accountability in policing.

The judge acquits Amiya due to lack of evidence and commends Mahima for her dedication. Randhawa promotes Saurabh to Sub-Inspector and Mahima to DSP, assigning her to lead a special cell to combat human trafficking.

Amiya rejoins her friends and the case resolves with the humorous revelation that the jackfruits were stolen by a group of monkeys.

The film closes by reflecting on gender and caste biases in policing and the need to balance justice for vulnerable cases with sensational ones. It emphasizes accountability and the cost of policing decisions on families and communities.
