Circle inspector Dinesh K. T. [Vineeth Sreenivasan] of the Gandhi Nagar police station leads the investigation into Neenu [Mareena Michael]‘s death, a celebrated model and social media influencer. To build the case, he questions Neenu’s roommate Anjitha [Ansiba Hassan] and Neenu’s manager Bhagat [Nandan Unni], probing their routines, secrets, and possible motives behind the tragedy. Meanwhile, Commissioner Balachandran K. pressures the team to wrap up the inquiry quickly, warning that the case could be handed to the Crime Branch if progress stalls.

Dinesh assigns his subordinates, SI Sajad Hassan and SI Reena Mathew, to bring in Hari [Shine Tom Chacko], the morning newspaper deliverer at Neenu’s home, for questioning. Through Hari’s account, Dinesh learns that Hari was a cybersecurity analyst who is planning to launch his own startup. After the initial interrogation, Hari is released, but Dinesh remains convinced there is a deeper link to Neenu’s death. He informs Sajad and Reena that Hari was fired for assaulting the CEO of his former company and that he was reportedly the only person in the vicinity when Neenu died. The two officers, cautious by instinct, insist on gathering solid proof before any detention.

Meanwhile, Dinesh’s ally Manoj from Yellow News whispers that two people are in a hotel room involved with drugs. Eager to boost his public image, Dinesh moves to arrest a woman and a young man from the room the next day, only to discover their bag contains gypsum powder, not drugs. The shame and embarrassment push him toward a more aggressive tactic: he contemplates implicating Hari in the case with the help of a defense lawyer who endorses the approach and persuades Balachandran to approve the plan. A police team led by Dinesh arrests Hari, who was preparing to take the PSC exam, hoping to stage a definitive turning point in the investigation.

In court, Krishnan Rajasekharan [Sreenivasan], a documentator known for frequent appearances in court, is introduced as a witness and delivers a false statement in front of the commissioner. Hari responds with emotional clarity, but the exposure lands him in jail. While behind bars, Hari is beaten by fellow detainees, and the police rush him to the hospital. During a later visit by the commissioner, Hari makes a dramatic escape in an ambulance. Arya [Malavika Menon], Hari’s partner, helps him hide in a warehouse owned by Ahammad, and Hari begins to orchestrate a network that includes Dinesh, Krishnan, and other inspectors. He then threatens Krishnan over the phone, demanding that Krishnan file an affidavit in court.

With Arya’s help, Hari recovers Krishnan’s mobile from a truck, restores its deleted call history, and tracks his movements. Hari and Arya reach the Cochin Tower hotel, where Krishnan is staying, but Krishnan manages to slip away after spotting them. Hari chases Krishnan to the Palarivattom metro station, but Krishnan escapes once again. A police team led by Dinesh arrives at the metro following Krishnan’s tip, yet Hari deftly evades capture.

On the move, Hari’s vehicle sustains a minor accident, and the traffic SI relays the incident to the control room where Sajad and Krishnan are stationed. Realizing Hari’s whereabouts, Krishnan calls his associate Manaf [Azees Nedumangad], who diverts his autorickshaw down a narrow road to allow Hari to be seized. But Dinesh arrives first and claims credit for the arrest.

At the courthouse, the defense frames Hari as a suspect grounded in circumstantial evidence. Hari speaks for himself without a lawyer and dismantles the prosecution’s case by presenting clear evidence that Anjitha’s and Krishnan’s statements are unreliable. He then exposes Dinesh’s ties to Neenu, presenting WhatsApp chats, CCTV footage, and personal videos as proof. Bincy George [Gowry Nandha], Dinesh’s wife, testifies against him, and Dinesh insists he had nothing to do with Neenu’s death. The courtroom verdict turns as Hari’s defense reveals the manipulation at the heart of the investigation. Ultimately, Dinesh is arrested for pressuring and implicating Hari, and Krishnan faces consequences for his false testimony in court. The case closes with a reminder of the cost of unchecked power and the resilience of the truth.
