CI Sajan Philip leads the case after a jewellery safe is broken and gold is stolen. There are no usable CCTV visuals at the scene, complicating early clues. He assembles a dedicated team—SI Basheer, CPOs Rajesh Mathew and Abin Raj, and SI Rajeevan—to begin the inquiry.

The team narrows the focus to Aravindan, the shop's ex-employee who was dismissed for theft. They scrutinize his possible involvement and the motive behind the heist. The suspect status raises questions about insider complicity.

It is revealed that Aravindan had previously taken jewelry to aid his lover's debt-ridden family, hoping it would be quickly replaced with money. He ends up selling his own property to repay the owner and avoid legal action.

CCTV visuals from the market show a commercial van with an unidentified plate. A local taxi driver cannot identify the vehicle, keeping the lead obscured. Investigators realize the van may play a key role in moving the loot.

Using local contacts, the team traces the van's ownership to a loan shark named Mookkan Balan. The connection suggests a larger network behind the theft. The lead shifts from insider activity to vehicle-linked suspects.

Balan states that he leased the van to a North Indian migrant worker family posing as clothes salesmen. The investigators pivot to the migrant worker group as the main suspects. They prepare for a cross-regional operation.

A secret search of the migrant family's rented home reveals traces of stolen jewelry boxes. One phone number from the robbery day is found inactive and located near a border village between UP and Rajasthan. The evidence strengthens the migrant theory.

Sajan's team travels to North India to nab the culprits, with the local police offering support. They lodge in a shabby place at first, then move to a better hotel while maintaining ties with the locals to avoid hostility. The cross-border operation begins.

Photographs from the accused's Kerala-issued IDs are used to identify locals, including a hooch supplier's aide who might be aiding the thieves. The team plans a stakeout to capture the rest of the gang.

They arrest the hooch supplier's aide by posing as buyers, but he breaks out of custody during the night watch. The team faces a series of misfires as they attempt to tighten the net. A subsequent effort yields another setback before a final capture.

After several attempts, the team corners some gang members at night and makes a daring capture. They also contend with the village's womenfolk who attempt to block them, adding to the tension.

While transporting the suspects back to Kerala, villagers block the hotel entrance to hinder their move. The team improvises and hides the culprits as a passing vehicle blocks the guards' view, enabling their safe escape back to Kerala.

Despite the daring maneuvers, the gang members secure bail. Sajan and his team still pursue another gang of criminals, signaling a continuing threat and a setup for future cases.
