Former SHO Adhirath Jatav, recently dismissed from\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe Delhi Police, happens upon a murder-the body of a young woman, her\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einsides split open, is found inside a farmhouse on the outskirts of New Delhi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chance encounter with the woman's mother clears some mystery-she was\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efrom a neighbouring village, a beautician and a presumed prostitute, with a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estring of fake names.
