The Truth

Patteri, a respected Brahmin astrologer, collaborates with cop Pothuval to crack the ill-famed temple robbery. Their breakthrough ties the heist to political machinations ahead of the by-election. Patteri also senses a bad omen about Madhavan's political prospects.

The CM Madhavan launches a crackdown on corrupt government officials, angering party members and ministers. The by-election looms as the party plots to undermine him. The tension foreshadows the political conspiracy central to the plot.

In a separate sequence, a mysterious woman enters an apartment with an accomplice and studies assassination details. They prepare for an attack tied to Madhavan's plans. The scene hints at a decoy role that will mislead investigators later.

DGP Hariprasad reports an anonymous threat call and advises tightening security around Madhavan. A DYSP is asked to stay with him at all times. The threat culminates in the staged assassination attempt that follows.

Madhavan, along with John and several attendees, is killed when an explosion rips through the election meeting. The shocking event triggers the initial investigation led by SP Meena Nambiar.

SP Meena Nambiar heads the initial inquiry, sifting through evidence and witness testimonies. A suspicious lead points to a woman’s forged reporter pass. The investigation stalls, provoking concern over the case’s direction.

The sensational case attracts media attention, prompting the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT). The SIT re-evaluates the evidence and questions the initial conclusions. The judge grows frustrated with the slow progress of the early inquiry.

DIG Bharath, Patteri’s son, arrives to lead the SIT and clashes with Meena at first. Soon they align as cracks in the initial investigation become evident. He questions the credibility of the killer’s photograph and the decoy theory.

Bharath uncovers inconsistencies in the killer’s photograph: no female fingerprints and a male print in the apartment. He creates a male version of the photo and circulates it to locate the real killer. The accomplice Bose is found dead before capture, stalling the case further.

Investigators learn that John was investigating an explosion at a fireworks factory tied to illegal explosives licenses held by Thomachan, an influential politician. His findings threaten a wider conspiracy that reaches high levels of power. The case pivots on connecting the blast to the murder plot.

The team uncovers that the puppet master behind the explosive deals is DGP Hariprasad, who manipulated earlier investigations. He sought to derail the case and protect Thomachan from exposure. The revelation reframes the entire investigation.

The SIT submits its report; Hariprasad and Thomachan are sentenced to prison. Pothuval is promised a promotion for his help in cracking the case. The investigation closes with a sense of closure and accountability.

The SIT returns to Delhi with the case resolved, but the political landscape remains unsettled as the truth of the conspiracy comes to light. Patteri and Madhavan's memory leaves a lasting impact on Kerala’s politics and law enforcement culture.
