Plot
Koyelaanchal unveils itself through Saryu Bhan Singh, an ex-owner turned Mafioso of the region, who through his sheer brutality and blatant defiance of the law of the land, forces the people and the authorities to acknowledge him as their ‘maalik’. Any protest, any voice of dissent against him, is dealt with spine chilling violence of epic proportions.
Things get a bit difficult to handle for Saryu Bhan Singh when an upright District Collector Nisheeth Kumar takes charge of the region and starts asking him questions that no one dared ask him before. Caught amidst labor revolts and naxal uprisings, the last thing Saryu Bhan Singh wanted was to make enemies with the top government officer in his region. He sends his most lethal human weapon, Karua to scare Nisheeth Kumar off to silence.
But the mission don't-kill-just-scare-him goes horribly wrong when Karua ends up injuring Nisheeth's wife and in the process of escape, ends up carrying Nisheeth's infant also, thus abducting the child.
