Officer on Duty

In Bangalore, Police Inspector Joseph Chembola of the Karnataka Police hangs himself in his house after leaving a suicide note orchestrated by a group of drug addicts led by Christy Savio.

Eight months later, in Kerala, Harishankar alias Hari is a hot-headed and impulsive officer who was recently demoted from his DYSP rank to CI after assaulting his superior officer by accident. Hari is subsequently assigned as the SHO of the Aluva police station. He receives a complaint about a KSRTC conductor named Chandrababu attempting to pawn an imitation gold chain. This seemingly minor case leads him to investigate a series of gruesome crimes, which are revealed to be connected to his own past personal tragedy.

Hari suffers from PTSD which causes him to express his trauma violently, particularly toward his wife, Geetha. One day, Chandrababu reports to the police station that his gold chain was replaced with fake gold when he attempted to pawn it for his wife’s surgery. Upon investigation, Hari discovers that Chandrababu’s daughter Krishnapriya had switched the chain herself after being sexually exploited by an unknown perpetrator. Hari attempts to file a POCSO case, but before he can proceed, Krishnapriya commits suicide by hanging. Chandrababu blames Hari for his rude behaviour and his daughter’s death. Witnessing her death triggers Hari’s buried trauma, revealing that Hari’s elder daughter, Nila, had also been sexually exploited. In a fit of rage, Hari kills a drug addict named Shyam in custody after discovering a sex tape of Nila on his laptop. Overcome with grief, Hari attempts to confront Nila, but she had already hung herself. The trauma causes his brain to supress the incident.

In the present, Christy and his gang go to ASI Thomas, a recently released policeman who had taken the blame for Shyam’s custodial death. Thomas had done so in an attempt to protect Hari since his own daughter had also been exploited by Shyam. To avenge Shyam’s killing, Christy and his gang murder Thomas and his wife, but before dying, Thomas’ wife reveals to them that Hari was the one who actually killed Shyam. Meanwhile, Hari investigates and tracks down Anna, a member of Christy’s gang, following her to Bangalore. A chase ensues, and Anna is fatally struck by a truck, dying on the spot. Later, Christy and his gang attempt to ambush Hari in the mortuary, but he successfully fends them off.

As the investigation unfolds, Hari discovers that Joseph had once arrested Shyam, Celine, and Anna for using drugs and slapping a girl’s mother on a bus where Chandrababu was the conductor. While in custody, Joseph raped both Anna and Celine, leading Christy’s gang to seek revenge on those responsible. Their revenge plan involved exploiting the women closest to those who contributed to their arrest. They began by targeting Joseph’s daughter Angel, Krishnapriya and also Nila. It is revealed that Geetha and Nila were the mother and daughter who had been slapped by them and Geetha was the one who initially confronted the gang, making them a target.

Christy stabs Chandrababu and eventually tracks down Geetha and her younger daughter, Minnu, at her father’s farmhouse. Christy and his gang attempts to kill them, but Geetha’s father, a former soldier, fights back. However, he is soon killed by Christy. Geetha and Minnu try to escape from them but Christy follows them alone and stabs Geetha. Minnu escapes from him but he follows her and reaches a small building in the woods. His gang also arrives and before they can make a move, Hari arrives and a final showdown ensues where he brutally overpowers them. He nearly kills Christy for what he did to his and Chandrababu’s family.

A few months later, Hari returns to his normal life and begins to focus more on his family. Meanwhile, Christy and his gang are released on bail and plan their next attempt to kill Hari. However, Hari anticipates their move and laces their drugs with poison, ultimately killing them and avenging Nila’s death.
