Even after they are blessed with a daughter, Nimmi's father shows no attachment towards them.

Businessman Alexander has a good image in public, but along with his three sons is engaged in importing goods illegally and evading customs. Raveendran arrests a group engaged in illegal activities, and later discovers that one of them is the son-in-law of Chacko. The culprit, being a Muslim had eloped with Chacko's daughter Mary. Though Mary is not willing to accept financial aid, Raveendran provides for her living expenses through the local shopkeeper who is helping Mary.
