** These men turn out to be professional assassins with no clear ties to any single organization, which pushes the investigation into murkier waters. Mammen quickly identifies the Union Home Minister, K. J. Nair Janardhanan, as the likely mastermind behind a wider conspiracy aimed at seizing power in the wake of the Prime Minister’s death. Nair is prepared to trigger a political coup, but Mammen is determined to foil the plan and refuses offers of a bailout. In a decisive confrontation, Mammen shoots at Nair, only for the bullet to fatally strike Susan Joseph Pandala Vindhya, Mammen’s girlfriend, a tragedy that shatters him personally and complicates the pursuit of justice.
