Nayattu

Praveen Michael rejoins the police force in a new station as a CPO. A local political goon named Biju, who is related to police officer CPO Sunitha, is summoned for being a constant troublemaker. Praveen and his senior officer ASI Maniyan get into a scuffle with the goon and lock him up in a cell, but he is later released without charge due to the political influence of his Dalit party. After a wedding party, Maniyan and Praveen are drunk, joined by Sunitha who accepts a lift. With Maniyan's nephew Rahul as the driver, they get into a collision with a motorbike. They move to assist after realizing that the bike rider Jayan is a friend of Biju. Rahul flees from the scene immediately, after which the trio gets spotted by civilians. They attempt to rescue Jayan, who is announced dead on arrival, sending Biju's mob into a rage and forcing the trio to flee to their station. At the station, Maniyan realizes that they will be accused of murder and arrested soon, resulting in the trio going on the run. With political pressure mounting on the police to frame them, they retreat to Munnar to seek asylum with an old acquaintance of Maniyan. The CM gets involved in the matter due to an impending election where the support of the Dalit organization is crucial for victory. The investigation is handed over to the Crime Branch. A squad of senior police officers, led by SP Anuradha, is sent in pursuit of the fugitives.
