The entire series is not based on real-life instances; however, there are certain events that are portrayed in the series which are. The show focus on the criminal empire handled by a man named Waseem Khan who is known to be a tender mafia. His authority and power are challenged by a small-time criminal with the name of Vijay Singh who is driven by some kind of vengeance, the answer to which lies in the series.

The series is named Raktanchal as a foreshadowing to what a viewer can expect to happen to Purvanchal when these two power-hungry rivals meet.
