Ajay Thakur is a long-time employee serving with the Indian police force; his motive in life involves bringing justice to the freedom fighters, who in reality are terrorists headed by Habibullah and his younger brother, Munna. All of them are on a deadly mission namely to separate Kashmir from India. Ajay meets with partial success when he shoots Munna, injuring him and thus arresting him in the process. This success gets him promoted to Deputy Inspector General (D.I.G). Later Munna manages to escape from custody and assassinates Ajay's wife whilst on the run. Meanwhile, Ajay's journalist sister, Pooja meets a guy, Rohit who rescues her from her car after realising its fitted with a bomb. Pooja falls in love with Rohit but unbeknown to Pooja, Rohit is a mere pawn in the hands of Habibullah.

Ajay manages to find out the gangs where-about which is an old mosque and he must go to negotiate the release of his sister, Pooja.
