Plot
Latha, daughter of Menon, a rich businessman, gets a threatening call from Raji demanding Rs 5 lakhs not to reveal a deadly secret about her father. Frightened Latha approaches her family advocate, Haridas, for a solution. Haridas refers Latha to Captain Hariharan who now runs a security service. Though initially, he is reluctant to take up the investigation on Raji, Haiharan decides to go ahead. In the meantime, Raji is found dead. Inspector Raju Peter suspects Hariharan who informs Latha about the death. Malini, Latha's sister, inquires with Hariharan about Raji, Latha, and the reason for the probe. Hariharan refuses to divulge and says it's personal. Meanwhile, Suresh, their cousin, is found dead too. Hariharan's probe to find the truth forms the rest of the story.
