Vijay has decided to kill them one by one by taking law into his own hands as he does not believe in the law.
One day Vijay comes across an angry and embittered Jaan Nisar Khan (Amitabh Bachchan) who has just been released from prison. Khan used to work as a Forest Officer, and lived with his wife Zakhiya (Madhavi) and daughter Neelu. One day while on duty he had come across some poachers who were cutting sandal wood trees illegally. When challenged, they had retaliated. A struggle ensued and one of them, Ram Gupta (Amrish Puri), was killed. Khan was charged with murder, tried in court, and sentenced to 20 years in prison. His shocked and devastated wife, was raped and she had killed herself and their daughter.
