Swapan embezzled Tk 400 crores of his friend Badur's share and killed Shamsur Rahman in a trick and disguised himself as a husband to Shamsur Rahman's wife Shayla (Allen Swapan and Shamsur Rahman look exactly the same).
At one point, Shayla's brother Iqbal and his entourage along with Badu kidnap a disguised Swapan to extort a share of the money, forcing him to confess that he is Allen Swapan.
