Kismat (2004) Plot Summary Explained

Tony killed Inspector Hargobind Gosai because Raj Mallya ordered the hit to silence the FDA inspector who was investigating his fake medicine operation. Tony worked as a hitman for Vikas Patil, who was under Raj's control, so when Raj demanded that the inspector be dealt with, Tony carried out the assignment to protect Raj's criminal empire from exposure.

Foreshadowing: The timeline establishes early that Tony's loyalty to Vikas and Raj places him at the center of their dangerous network, making him complicit in their crimes.

Dr. Hargobind Gosai was framed because Raj Mallya's drug operation was responsible for killing three children with spurious medicines.
