Plot
Officer Kapil Khanna was a strict enforcer of the law. In order to gain evidence against the local mafia don D'Costa he sought a favour from his underworld friend Azam Khan, a man with a golden heart. Azam Khan was successful in securing evidence against D'Costa but the mafia got wise to it and before Azam Khan could reach the law, D'Costa with the help of his friend Dalpat Dalal liquidated him. The blame of Azam Khan's death was owned by a petty driver Nathulal for a price paid by Dalpat Dalal. Azam Khan's little son Akbar swore vengeance against Police Officer Kapil Khanna as he felt him responsible. Kapil Khanna's wife delivered a baby boy in the hospital of D'Costa, so did Dalpat Dalaal's wife to a baby girl. D'Costa returned Dalpat's favour by interchanging the two on Dalpat's insistence. Kapil Khanna was enraged at this and he took to a legal battle against the hospital authorities.[5]
