He is posted in the Law & Order department undercover with Thomas and a couple of ATS officers assisting him. All his men are newly inducted IPS officers.
At Kochi, Kalyani clashes with advocate Ashokan and Advocate Madhumitha, his daughter, who was his ex-girlfriend. A bundle of counterfeit currency is found at a local bank, which was transferred from the account of a charity organization run by Sait Issa Mohammed Haji, a respected businessman. Baba Kalyani reaches the residence of Issa Mohammed the same night, where Issa denies any knowledge about any hawala dealings in the state.
The cash was transferred from the account by Babu, Issa Mohammed's son-in-law, who is a college lecturer. Babu is king-pin of a terror organization in the state. He is with a bunch of young men had secretly undergone Jihadi training in Pakistan and is planning a massive explosion. But unaware of this, Issa supports him thinking Babu is a normal college lecturer busy with his own life.
One morning Issa arrives at Baba Kalyani's residence, informing about a group of suspicious young men recently seen at the nearby mosque. He also adds that the Muslyar of the mosque has some doubts regarding their activities. Baba Kalyani, along with Thomas and their group, conducts a raid at the house and gathers vital information. The house gets blown up, signing the storage of inflammable explosives. From the prints, maps and photographs, Baba Kalyani concludes that their next target is Palani, a divine pilgrimage center in South India.
He arrives at Palani along with his team, where he meets up Raghupathi, the IG of Tamil Nadu police. With the support of local police, Baba seizes the trucks in which the explosives were stored. Baba sends Issa Mohammed as a negotiator to Babu who was hiding along with a group of jihadis. But unwilling to give up the plan, Babu decides to shoot down Issa.
