Mohan holds a bomb inside a bus, taking passengers hostage. His motivations are deeply tragic: he is a grieving father seeking justice. His innocent daughter was raped and driven to suicide by a corrupt, arrogant politician named Chinoy, whose crimes were shielded by a powerful and equally corrupt industrialist named Kaka.
