[edit]

He gets in a fight with a bigger gangster in the city when he prevents them from charging for businesses in his area. In an ensuring shootout, Samraat kills his all men and gets him arrested.

After a few days, his mother comes from the village to meet him and she thinks he is a police officer like his father. She gets emotional when she sees his father's motorcycle still kept with care by Samraat. One night, his bike breaks down in middle and he parks it in the house of a local and sees Rihanna and immediately falls in love with her. Next day, when he goes to her house to take the bike, She informs that she cannot give the bike. Upon asking the reason, she denies to answer. So, he files a complaint in the police station but in vain. Then he searches the local garages and hideouts of bike thieves, but too in vain. He then tries to woo Rihanna in order to know about his bike.

In the meantime, Rihanna's sister Tulona gets sick and is taken to the hospital, where it is revealed that Tulona was raped the day Samraat's bike had broken down, by the brother of an international gangster Juala who also stole his bike. He vows to take revenge and so he thrashes them badly and takes the rapist to the police station under a corrupt Officer in-Charge (OC), and gets him arrested. Due to this action, Rihanna falls in love with Samraat.

Meanwhile, Juala learns about this and sends his men to kill Samraat but are unable to do so. The OC joins hands with Juala and releases his brother. Due to this shock their father dies. Juala sends his men to kill both the sisters but is saved by Samraat. Meanwhile, the gangster then buys the doctor who did the medical examination of Tulona and manipulates the reports. Juala's brother and son then attempt to kill Samraat but saves himself.

The OC then discovers that Samraat is actually ACP Wahid Murad Samraat who works in the CID, and is in disguise as a gangster in order to finish the underworld and he informs this to Juala who thinks that Samraat is dead. Samraat then personally confronts the OC and the doctor and arrests and interrogates them personally. The OC informs him that they will kill his family.
