Their only son Raju lives with his mother Manjari. Raju's only friend is Narayan and they go to school together. Some politicians plan to kill Dr. Hameed Ali, a well known nuclear scientist. But a thief learns of their plan.

In this closed-door meeting is also the involvement of the Police Commissioner. The thief makes a video recording of the meeting, but he is caught. He is shot and wounded, trips and falls down and the gang of four manage to follow him, but the thief escapes. He meets Raju and Narayan, who are on a visit to an isolated temple near the hillside. Raju and Narayan are bewildered and do not know what to do. But the clever and shrewd Raju tells Narayan that they will remain quiet and will not reveal anything to anybody about the incriminating tape. But the killers see Raju and chase him to death because Raju saw the murders. The task of nabbing the killer is given to Kiran, Raju's father, who takes precautions for his son. Dr. Hameed has now called the delegation of All World Scientists and Mr. X, who is the master planner of the murder of Dr. Hameed Ali, enters the meeting.
