Custody

Custody

In 1998 in Andhra Pradesh, A. Shiva, a happy-go-lucky police constable, and his girlfriend Revathi, a driving instructor, decide to elope and get married. However, Shiva gets involved in a road rage incident and arrests Rajasekhar alias "Raju", a dreaded gangster carrying out dirty jobs for CM Dakshayani and her party. George, a CBI officer imprisoned in the case, informs Shiva that he has to produce Raju in a court in Bangalore within 48 hours as Raju has valuable information regarding Dakshayani's involvement in an orchestrated bomb blast at Morampudi. Shiva calls Varghese, George's superior, and confirms the same. Meanwhile, Dakshayani learns of Raju's arrest and assigns some goons and IG Nataraj to kill him. Nataraj and Dakshyini's goons try to kill Raju and George, but Shiva subdues the goons and escapes with them. Shiva, Raju, and George head to Bangalore, with Revathi accompanying them. Nataraj tracks them down, where their car falls into a lake near a dam. Shiva, Raju, Revathi and George sneak into the dam's underground tunnel, where Nataraj attacks them and George is killed in the crossfire. After escaping from Nataraj, Shiva and the others head to a hospital as Raju was injured during the shootout, but the hospital is watched by Nataraj's men. Later, the trio arrive at Maj. Gen. Philips Satya Raj and Raju is treated and recovers. Under Varghese's orders, Shiva and the others are escorted by officers, but Nataraj and his goons surround them.
