However, as Shivani digs deeper into the case, she uncovers a massive human trafficking racket run by an elderly woman known as Amma, played by Mallika Prasad. The trailer reveals that Amma has been buying girls from across the country for Rs 10 lakh each and injecting them with a substance that puts them to sleep. The video then shows Rani’s character stating that the case goes beyond trafficking and is linked to a larger beggar mafia. In one of the disturbing moments, a rescued girl is shown coughing up blood at a hospital, underscoring the brutality of the crime.
While confronting Amma, Shivani declares, “I am a cop who won’t take cuts from people like you but will cut you.” The subsequent scenes show Rani’s character racing against time to save several girls trapped in the horrifying racket.
