PLOT SUMMARY

The film begins with newspaper headlines showing the brutal activities of insurgent groups in Assam. Ranjit, a young graduate lost in despair, was desperately in search of an income source. Unfortunately the offer which he got was to shoot one Arvind Sarma and against his will Ranjit entered into a world of bloodshed.

In Guwahati, a college professor Banajit Dutta, who was involved in writing aggressive columns in newspapers, is killed in front of his residence by some miscreants. This led to serious circumstances for Ranjit, who was arrested by the police for interrogation. His case was being looked after by DSP Biraj Choudhury. Meanwhile, the Home Minister of the state promises Prof. Dutta鈥檚 wife for a speedy inquiry into the matter. However the Minister receives threats from the insurgent group and orders stopping of the entire process of inquiry into the case of banajit Dutta. Ranjit is also released. DSP Choudhury visits Mrs. Dutta and advises her to think about her only daughter Deepa鈥檚 future instead of concentrating on the dark chapter of her life.

Deeply disturbed at all the happenings, Ranjit moves to his village and when his group members approach him, he begs to let him free. They give him some money to start his own business and warn him not to open his mouth in front of anybody. Meanwhile Mrs. Dutta joins a government job on compensatory grounds and builds a part-house for rental. DSP Choudhury asks Ranjit to move to the city and start his life afresh. He also manages Ranjit and his sister鈥檚 stay at Mrs. Dutta鈥檚 part-house. Things take a turn and Ranjit鈥檚 family comes closer to Mrs. Dutta and her daughter. Looking at the solitary and troublesome life of Mrs. Dutta, Ranjit visualizes the family of Arvind Sarma, whom he had killed. He even visits Arvind Sarma鈥檚 wife, whose life had been ruined. She has lost faith in morality and was not afraid of any punishment. Keeping her children in a boarding school, she now kept herself busy in drinking and entertaining male guests at home. Looking at this ill fate Ranjit finds it hard to forgive himself. Gradually, this mental disturbance leads him to such an extent that he desperately starts a search for the truth. He wants to know for what reason he was ordered to kill Arvind Sarma and destroy a family. Ranjit moves to one after the other source until a time when his body is seen lying in a muddy river bank.
