Spoiler-free synopsis

Circle inspector Dinesh K. T. of the Gandhi Nagar police station is in charge of the investigation into the death of Neenu, a celebrity model and social media influencer. As part of the investigation, he questions Anjitha, Neenu's roommate, and Bhagat, Neenu's manager. Meanwhile, Commissioner Balachandran K. informs Dinesh that the case investigation must be concluded soon, or it will be handed over to the Crime Branch. Dinesh instructs his subordinates, SI Sajad Hassan and SI Reena Mathew, to call Hari, who delivers the newspaper to Neenu's house every morning, to the police station. Through Hari's interrogation, Dinesh learns that he was a cyber security analyst for an IT company and is currently preparing to launch his own start-up. After interrogation, Hari is allowed to go. But Dinesh suspects Hari of murdering Neenu. He informs Sajad and Reena that Hari was fired for assaulting the CEO of the company for which he worked and that he was the only one in the area when Neenu died. However, Sajad and Reena suggest Hari should be detained only once adequate proof is obtained. Meanwhile, Dinesh's friend Manoj from Yellow News informs him that two people are in a hotel bearing drugs. Dinesh, looking for an opportunity to boost his image, arrests a lady and a young man from the hotel room the following day. However, upon examination at the police station, it was found that their bag contained gypsum powder. Dinesh, ashamed in front of everyone, makes some decisions in his mind. Dinesh talks with a defense lawyer to consider implicating Hari in the case. The lawyer supports him and instructs him to proceed with the arrest. Dinesh convinces Commissioner Balachandran as well. A police team led by Dinesh arrests Hari, who was preparing to take the PSC exam. The police present Krishnan Rajasekharan, a documentator who frequently appears in court to falsely testify, as a witness. In the presence of the commissioner, Krishnan makes a false statement. Though Hari emotionally responded to it, he was taken to jail. At jail, Hari is beaten up by a group of accused, and the police take him to the hospital. During the commissioner's visit, Hari escapes from the hospital in an ambulance. Dinesh scares Krishnan by telling him about Hari's anger toward him for falsely testifying. Arya, Hari's lover, helps him hide in a warehouse owned by Ahammad. While staying there, he organizes the numbers of Dinesh, Krishnan, and other inspectors. Hari then threatens Krishnan over the phone, telling him that he must file an affidavit in court. With the help of Arya and Ahammad, Hari gets Krishnan's mobile from a truck, retrieves its deleted call history, and locates him. Hari and Arya arrive at the Cochin Tower hotel after learning that Krishan is staying there. Krishnan, however, manages to escape after seeing them in front of his room. Hari chases Krishnan to the Palarivattom metro station but fails to catch him. On Krishnan's information, a police team led by Dinesh arrives at the metro station, but Hari smartly escapes. While traveling, Hari's vehicle was involved in a minor accident. This information was passed by the traffic police to the control room, where Sajad and Krishnan were present. Hari and Ahammad grab an autorickshaw and escape the scene of the accident. The traffic SI tells Sajad the name of the autorickshaw by checking the CCTV visuals. Knowing Hari is traveling in his friend Manaf's autorickshaw, Krishnan calls him and tells him of the situation. Ma
