Based on a real-life incident, the film centers on the controversial 2008 Batla House encounter in Delhi, where a police team raided an apartment allegedly housing terrorists. The operation results in the deaths of two suspected terrorists and the injury of the team's leader, ACP Sanjay Kumar. While hailed as a success by some, the encounter is questioned by others who allege it was staged. The officer faces a public trial by media and a lengthy legal battle, forcing him to fight to clear his name and prove the operation's validity.
