Inspector Arjun Singh Vinod Khanna of Bombay Police has attained a sordid reputation of being of the most ruthless policemen in India, and is known for his torture and brutality. When a young man is killed in custody, Arjun is spoken to and warned, and subsequently transferred to a small town of Tehsil. Arjun denies these charges and asserts, in vain, that the death was not his fault. Arjun relocates there, and finds to his horror that the family of the young man who died in his care, are his neighbors, and that this town regards him as enemy number one. Arjun must now come to terms with his past and compromise in this town, and find out what were the circumstances behind this young mans death or just get another transfer. However he is abandoned by his lover Vidya Anita Raj and a determined Pooja Madhvi is doing all she can to bring justice to her brothers murder. Arjun finds solace in alcoholism and a prostitute, Seema Meenaskhi Sheshadri.
