[संपादन करीं]

Satyaraj, an infamous professional killer, assassinates a cement contractor as per the orders of his business rival, Vincent. Balram, called as "Karadi Balu" is an honest but reputed notorious and arrogant police officer, apprehends Satyaraj within a day. But before interrogating Satyaraj, he was taken charge by another investigating officer. Vincent with the help of Adv. Jayachandran, influences witnesses and the investigating officer of the case and tampers with evidence. As a result, Satyaraj is acquitted of the offence. But since he has several cases against him, he is not released from custody pending trial in those cases. Balram was earlier tried for custodial death of a teenage boy arrested by him. Labelled as a murderer, his lover's father objects to his relationship with his daughter. Heartbroken, he resorts to drinking and womanizing. Satyaraj escapes from jail with the help of Jail superintendent. Radha, sister of the teenage boy who is alleged to be killed by Balram, seeking justice against Balram, is conducting a case against Balram and other police officers through Adv. Jayachandran. Adv. Jayachandran makes Radha believe that Satyaraj has certain documents implicating Balram in the death of her brother. Radha believes Adv. Jayachandran and agrees to provide safe shelter to Satyaraj. Balram upon realising that the prostitute with whom he had affairs, is carrying his child, offers to marry her. During vehicle search, Balram recovers certain incriminating documents and submits the same to his superior officer. But his superior is corrupted and is a partner of Vincent and returns those documents back to him. But Balram had already sent a copy of those documents to Central Bureau of Investigation, who arrests the superior officer, Vincent and Adv Jayachandran. Radha came to know from Vincent's son that her brother was killed by Satyaraj at the orders of Vincent and to avoid suspicion, the superior officer framed Balram as an accused in the case. Realising the truth, Radha informs Satyaraj's whereabouts to Balram, Who plans an operation to arrest Satyaraj. Satyaraj, realising Balram's plan, takes Radha and her friend as hostage and tries to escape. Balram gave chase and after a scuffle, kills Satyaraj. Balram is arrested by fellow officers.
