==Plot==
[[Inspector]] Vishnu is an honest officer, who is living with his family- his mother, younger sister Hima and wife Anagha where he is also involved in [[Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988|benami]] dealings. Vishnu's boss asks him to tap the phone calls of a few senior officers and politicians to track their illegal activities. Vishnu learns that the politicians' wives and other women, including Anagha, are having affairs with Harsha, a sociopath and [[cybercriminal]], who seduces woman to fall for him and blackmails them for money.

Vishnu confronts Harsha, who blackmails him by hacking Vishnu's [[personal computer]] and downloaded the [[audio recordings]] that Vishnu has collected so far. It is revealed that Vishnu was involved in the dealings, in order to construct a hospital for the poor. Harsha leaks the call of [[Director general of police|DGP]] in order to get Vishnu into trouble. However, Vishnu is instead congratulated by his boss for publicly removing the DGP from competing. When the scandal escalates, The higher-ups in the department decide to frame Vishnu as the [[scapegoat]] to save their name.

Meanwhile, Vishnu plants bugs at his house where he learns that Hima was having an affair with Harsha, not Anagha. Hima met Harsha in [[Facebook]]. When he called her to sleep with him, she learnt about his true nature and blocks his phone number, but was blackmailing by calling her from different numbers. Hima confronts Harsha and tries to have [[sexual intercourse|sex]] with her, but escapes and she learnt that he made a [[Lascivious|lascivious photos]] on her and is torturing her since.

Realizing that his higher-ups are framing him, Vishnu blackmails his higher-ups with their audio recordings that he is heading to kill Harsha and the charges against him should be dropped. The higher-ups follow Vishnu's orders where Vishnu kidnaps Harsha and kills him at his [[guest house]].
