Army officials intercept a truck-load of arms and ammunition being sold illicitly to gangsters by officers in the Indian army. The main accused, Captain Vijay Malhotra (Pankaj Dheer), attempted to defend himself, but was shot down and killed. A subsequent inquiry into this incident revealed that Vijay was indeed guilty of this offence. His dead body was stripped of all medals, and commendations, and left for cremation by his wife, Geeta (Rakhee), and a young son, Raju. The local villagers refused to permit Geeta from even cremating the body of a traitor, and left his body to rot in the hot desert climate, and eventually to be eaten by vultures. Years later, a young man named Vicky (Bobby Deol), goes on a rampage, killing influential people that were directly involved with the guilt of Vijay Malhotra, with no sure as to why he would even be aggrieved by the death of a traitor.
