In a twist-filled investigation led by ACP Vijay Prakash, a determined police officer, the story follows a man named Karthik who becomes the center of a baffling identity puzzle. From the very start, the case drops a pair of confounding clues: several statements about who Karthik really is don’t line up, and three young women each claim to be his wife, insisting that he vanished days or months earlier. An old man from an asylum adds another layer of mystery by claiming to have known Karthik under a different name—Krishnamurthy—who supposedly died thirty years ago. The shocking turn comes when that same old man is found murdered the very next day, intensifying the urgency of the investigation.
