 DCP Hari Om Patnaik is assigned to a police station, and is shocked to find that rules, and regulations, and the very reason for joining the police force, have been thrown to the wind. His colleagues, Inspector Vikram singh, Appa Kadam Naik, and Havaldar Khaled Ansari, have accepted the easy way of life which is to leave the big-wigs alone, but go after their henchmen, and arrange "encounters" with them, as well as take and split bribes (haftas) to augment their meagre earnings. Hari Om attempts to change this, and ends up having Havaldar Khaled killed at the hands of henchmen, who he himself had ordered to be released. Now he must content with the rest of the staff at the police station, his seniors, the general public, as well as the criminal dons, who can now carry now, while the police fight their very own politics.
