In the canteen at Maharaja's College, Real Fighters and Royal Warriors clash over campus issues. Mani informs both groups about Vedhika's performance at Mother's College, making Vedhika a focal point of later moves. The exchange highlights the escalating tension and foreshadows the events to come.

Both student groups go in disguise to approach Vedhika at Mother's College. She has already fallen for Unnikrishnan, who is Balan's son and her senior, adding romantic stakes to the plan. A flashback later confirms their budding feelings.

Vedhika asks Unnikrishnan to meet her at the railway station at 11:30 pm. The Real Fighters support his plan by giving him a ring and the key to a colleague's bike, signaling a formal confession. The moment marks a turning point in Vedhika's storyline.

Mani secretly adds alcohol to their drinks, and Unnikrishnan ends up drinking it unknowingly. He is arrested by the police as a suspect, though he is released later without charges. The incident sharpens the campus rift between students and authorities.

The next day, Vedhika's body is found behind the men's hostel, shocking the campus. Her father, Sivanandhan, urges the police to identify the killer quickly. The discovery triggers the formal murder investigation.

ACP John Thekkan leads the investigation and traces Vedhika's last phone call to Unnikrishnan. Unnikrishnan is arrested and interrogated, but later dies in police custody. His death intensifies public anger and campus protests.

After Unnikrishnan's death, a clash between police and students erupts and Thekkan is injured, leading to his hospitalisation. Bhavani Durga takes over the investigation and orders Roshan’s arrest, citing evidence of a tall, six-foot murderer. Campus officials resist the police actions, drawing in higher authorities.

Edward, the new English professor, speaks in support of the students and questions the police's handling of Vedhika and Unnikrishnan's cases. He corroborates Roshan’s innocence and urges a fair inquiry. His stance reshapes the campus dynamic and student-police relations.

Edward notices the workers in various departments are actually police officers. He warns the students not to leave the campus, consolidating their resolve to stay united. He helps the Real Fighters and Royal Warriors coordinate their defense against threats from outside.

Mahesh and Roshan, along with a colleague, attend a wedding reception to meet Mahesh's girlfriend Ramlath and are spotted by a suspended officer Ramachandran. Thekkan returns to duty and captures Roshan, who is taken to a hideout while his friends escape. Edward and his team track the situation and rescue Roshan.

Edward pledges to the press that Vedhika and Unnikrishnan’s murders will be solved within ten days. He also asks Roshan to reunite his separated parents, creating a personal stake amid the investigation. The campus remains focused on bringing the culprits to justice.

Edward reveals that Thekkan is the killer and explains Vedhika's death and Unnikrishnan's fate. In a subsequent confrontation, Edward overpowers and kills Thekkan, and Seethalakshmi is arrested. The revelation shocks the campus and confirms the motive behind the murders.

Ramlath uncovers Thekkan's long-standing grudge against Vedhika and the political entanglements surrounding Minister Seethalakshmi. It is revealed that Krishnadas was murdered by Thekkan and Ramachandran after discovering his wife's affair, setting the stage for Vedhika's kidnapping and death. The truth ties together motive, betrayal, and wealth with the campus tragedy.

In the aftermath, it is revealed that the Edward on campus is actually IPS officer Anto Antony from the Central Home Department, and the workers were his undercover teammates. The revelation confirms the police’s covert involvement and explains the earlier disguises. The tale closes with justice pursued and the campus beginning to heal.
