Khanna is very worried at the sorry state of affairs in the city and state. He requests the government to bring back Inspector Prabhakar (Shatrughan Sinha) to the city as he is an honest and fearless cop.

Besides them IG Khanna loves him like his own son and treats the children as his grandchildren.

Before dying, he keeps a typical clue for the police to nab the criminal, but nobody is able to understand what the clue says.
