Seine Arbeiter und Angestellten sind auf ihren Job angewiesen, um ihre Familien durchzubringen, obwohl Singh sie brutal und unfair behandelt. Den gebildeten Freund seiner Tochter lässt er einfach aus dem Weg schaffen. Auch, dass sich das Mädchen daraufhin aus Verzweiflung das Leben nimmt, erweicht Singh nicht. Seine beiden Söhne Bacchu und Bhola zeigen sich ihrem Vater ebenbürtig: Respektlos und ständig alkoholisiert, terrorisieren sie ihre Umgebung. Eines Tages lassen sie ihren Frust an der kleinen Durga aus, die schlichtweg zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort ist. Bewusstlos wird das Mädchen im Straßengraben gefunden. Außer sich vor Schmerz erstattet ihr Vater Rudra, der ebenfalls für Singh arbeitet, Anzeige. Nur widerwillig nehmen die Beamten den Fall überhaupt auf.
A small town in rural India gets to witness a confrontation between two fathers - one a rich, powerful, influential, and cruel Zamindar Thakur Avadh Narayan Singh - who wants the man who filed a police complaint against his two sons to be killed immediately. And the other is Rudra, a poor laborer employed by Avadh, who wants justice when he finds out that his nine year old daughter, Durga, has been beaten and brutally raped by Avadh's sons, Bachhu, and Bhola. Amidst this background we have a corrupt doctor, who is willing to change his medical report after he is bribed appropriately; and a Police Inspector, Ramnarayan Bhardwaj, who is willing to drop any charges against Avadh's sons provided he gets his "dues" from the Thakur.
