In Bulandshahr, Ruhani, the daughter of Indian Diplomat Sahu, is abducted while playing hide-and-seek with Jhimli, the daughter of a domestic helper.When Jhimli attempts to intervene, she is abducted as well.Meanwhile, in the Sundarbans, SSP Shivani Shivaji Roy dismantles a women and drug trafficking operation.Impressed by her work, Sahu recommends Shivani to lead the investigation into Ruhani's disappearance, while also announcing a public ransom of ₹2 crore.The kidnappers initially hand the girls over to Amma, the powerful leader of a beggar mafia network, but later seize Ruhani back to extort the ransom directly.

Despite Shivani overseeing the exchange, the criminals evade using a prerecorded video call to deceive the police.One gang member is captured and reveals links to Amma's organization.Shivani discovers that 93 girls aged eight to nine from impoverished families have gone missing in three months, leading her to suspect that Ruhani was abducted after being mistaken for a poor child.Following leads, the police track two of Amma's enforcers to Treta Trust, a rehabilitation organization run by Ramanujan, who claims to work against beggar mafias.The enforcers are killed in an encounter while attempting to murder him.

Soon after, Amma intimidates Shivani by intruding her home.A raid on Prince Lodge results in a shootout where the kidnappers are killed, and Ramanujan is sent to rescue Ruhani.He instead murders her, revealing himself as a mole within the police force working for Amma.Amma then threatens Shivani, who vows to rescue Jhimli.Shivani is removed from the case by senior officials, but continues investigating unofficially.

She finds one missing girl in a hospital, terminally ill with advanced cervical cancer, who dies shortly after revealing that several girls were nearly burned alive.Shivani links a symbol in the girl's drawings to Treta Trust and uncovers Ramanujan's past as a child abducted by Amma and raised within her network.Shivani arrests Ramanujan and Amma, but due to lack of evidence and manipulation by Ramanujan, he is released, Shivani is suspended, and a key witness dies in custody.Ramanujan, Amma, and accomplice Fatima flee to Colombo.Shivani forms an independent team and pursues them overseas with Sahu's support.

It is revealed that the girls were abducted to be used as test subjects in illegal experiments involving a mutated HPV virus intended to accelerate cervical cancer drug trials.Girls deemed unsuitable were killed to avoid detection, explaining Ruhani's murder.Shivani captures Amma and confronts Ramanujan in Colombo, revealing that Fatima was planted as an informant.Amma is killed during an escape attempt, and Ramanujan's operation is thwarted.Shivani ensures the rescued girls are repatriated.
