Jimmy brings her to his house and drops some sleeping pills in her cup of tea. She falls unconscious, and on coming back to her sense, she is shocked to find herself sole to Jimmy's customers. Driven by furiousness and rage Rekha kills Jimmy. Thereafter she rows to kill all those who are responsible for forcing innocent girls into the flesh trade. And then Rekha starts murdering the pimps one by one. At the same time, she also works as a journalist.
