Yash's dad is attacked by a rival gang, and he loses the use of his leg, making him become a wheelchair user. Meanwhile, Yash marries his sweetheart Prathna (Shilpa Shetty). After completing his training successfully, Suraj is assigned to the investigation against his friend, Yash, which shocks Suraj, but which he accepts. Yash's criminal dad has many contacts, and soon Yash also comes to know of Suraj's job, and his assignment.
