The story revolved around a self-proclaimed Godman, Kashipur waale Baba Nirala. He gained influence over the lower strata of the society as he often stood for them. Later, this led to him assuming a lot of power and people started considering him to be their Messiah. However, a sudden resurfacing of a skeleton in a close forest land points the investigation towards the Aashram of Baba Nirala.
