Pointing a gun at her head, he took control of an office building in Sector V and held her hostage there, on the tenth floor.[16]

A team of cops from the crime branch led by ACP Maya has been assigned the task to save the child from his hands. While Iqlakh negotiates his demands with Maya, it turns out that he does not want any ransom but just wants his job back.[4] She adheres to her duty, despite having pain due to injections for having a baby via IVF. She is struck between her dreams of motherhood and her high-stress job.[17] She learns that Iqlakh used to work in that same office building. Due to a small argument with the higher authorities, he was fired. Tormented, he turned a kidnapper the next day and kidnapped the girl. Brishti plays the role of a young journalist and Tintin is a young cameraperson. Brishti, desperate to impress her boss, is coincidentally trapped in the same building and using the opportunity, they secretly filmed the events happening there.[18]

Ira plays the role of the kidnapped girl's mother.[19] She is ready to pay any amount to save her daughter. But, things take a turn when she kidnaps Iqlakh's son Guddu to get her daughter back. With Brishti and Tintin's help, she warns Iqlakh through a video message that whatever happens with her daughter, his son will face the same consequences.[20] After that, the film unfolds in a 48 hours suspense hostage thriller where they try to save the child from his custody, along with the help of paramilitary task force commandos.[21][22]
