Plot

Professor Prabhat Kumar Varma (Raj Babbar), lives with his widowed mom, and sister, Madhu (Raksha Chauhan), in Andheri, Mumbai. He is worried about the growing crime rates in the city. He meets the Police Commissioner Sathe (Chandrashekhar) and complains about it. Meanwhile, Prabhat's friend Professor Lalwani (Dheeraj Kumar)'s sister-in-law, Sudha (Sonika Gill), is abducted, raped and killed. Her rapist and killer, Suresh Thakur (Dalip Tahil), is arrested and presented in court. His lawyers manage to prove that Suresh was not in Mumbai during the incident. The court subsequently acquits him. Annoyed by Prabhat's persistence about getting justice for Sudha, Suresh Thakur along with his gang barges into Prabhat's apartment and after tying him up, gangrapes his sister in front of him. They also murder his mother when she tries to call the police. His sister subsequently commits suicide. Prabhat loses faith in the criminal justice system. To avenge the death of his family, Prabhat turns into a vigilante. Every night he roams the city killing rapists and murderers. Inspector Shafi (Shafi Inamdar) starts investigating these crimes and soon Prabhat comes under the police's radar. The inspector eventually manages to capture Prabhat. Prabhat's girlfriend Rajni (Smita Patil) who is a lawyer takes it upon herself to free him and get justice once and for all.
