Arjun's father does not agree with the harsh ways he uses against the criminals. Near Mumbai, in the Central Jail, Jailer Lankeshwar uses his jail as a trade center for weapons and narcotics. ACP Amar is suspicious of Lankeshwar's actions. He requests the higher authorities to let Arjun go into the jail and gather evidence about Lankeshwar's evil deeds. The plan is that Arjun will fire a blank bullet on ACP Amar. Arjun pleads guilty in court and is sentenced to jail. In jail Arjun learns that arms, drugs and explosives are smuggled from the jail.
