Plot

Haridaspur is a village where Ashok Sharma was assigned as an Inspector. When he arrived at the remote village, he rescued a blind man and a widow. Ashok then got into a fist fight with Nishikant Shah and his men. The next day, Shah finds out the person with whom his men fought was Ashok himself. In order to make amends with Ashok, he decides to pay him a visit of reconciliation. Ashok refuses. After a series of events transpired, Ashok learns of the misdeeds carried out by Nishikant Shah and MLA Gopal Choudhary. Ashok then realized he had to help the people of the village from being exploited by rich men. Meanwhile, he started living in the village as a paying guest at the house of a girl named Asha. Ashok grew fond of an orphan child from the village named Chotu while in the village. Ashok then learned that Chotu's father had been a loyal farmer who was taken advantage of and killed by Nishikant's associates. Chotu promised he would avenge the evils he heard about while in the village. Shah and his friend Choudhry devised a plot against Ashok, which ultimately resulted in him being perceived as a bad person. Shah and Choudhry manipulated the situation to make it seem as though Ashok was responsible for the death of a man in his custody. This led to Ashok losing his job and his good reputation.
