Inspector Hathi Ram Chaudhary is going through his dead-beat job when he lands a big investigation. Three men and a woman have been arrested for the attempt to murder a big prime-time journalist, and Hathi Ram is asked to build a case.

Hathi Ram and Ansari use every technique in the book to interrogate the four suspects.

Hathi Ram reaches Chitrakoot and meets Tyagi's family and school teacher. He comes to know of the beginning of Tyagi's criminal record, and the people Tyagi worked for.

Hathi Ram gets sucked further into the case, but the investigation hits a dead end with the mysterious death of a key suspect. Sanjeev Mehra starts forming a plan to cash in on his renewed popularity.

Hathi Ram, suspended from his job, struggles to keep himself away from the case while dealing with rising issues at home. Sanjeev Mehra makes a dubious populist move that does not go well with Sara.

Hathi Ram and Ansari learn about the heartbreaking pasts of Kabir and Cheeni, and that only leads them to further question the CBI's accusation of them being terrorists. Things come to a boil at home, as Hathi Ram's son lands in serious trouble with the neighbourhood goons, forcing him to step in and take some decisive action. In the news studio, Sanjeev basks in the glory of his revived success as he conducts a cacophonous one-sided debate against the four suspects.
