==Summary== Cunning politician Purshottam is about to contest an election, but Bhavani Dutt a journalist, Ashutosh Das an alcoholic police officer, and Abdul Sattar, a politician are against this move of Purshottam as they know about his criminal activities and the three join hands to bring Purshottam to justice to save the innocent people.

But Purshottam is good enough to plot the trio's fall as Bhavani is arrested for the murder of a prostitute and Abdul Sattar is accused of rape and murder of a blind girl Gopi, while Ashutosh gets fired from the police job itself. The climax shows how the trio gets the punishment for Purshottam.
