Raat Akeli Hai

Raat Akeli Hai

In a remote area of Uttar Pradesh, a truck runs a car off the road, and the truck driver brutally murders the car's occupants – a woman and her driver. He takes the bodies to a tannery and burns them with acid, but accidentally spills the acid on one of his own hands. Five years later, Sub-Inspector Jatil Yadav is frustrated by his mother's incessant attempts to arrange a marriage for him. While attending a colleague's wedding, Jatil is summoned to investigate the murder of a wealthy aristocrat named Raghuveer Singh. Jatil learns that Raghuveer was murdered with his own gun on his wedding night and is further intrigued by the family's reticence on the matter. Jatil is introduced to the family by Ramesh Chauhan, the brother of Raghuveer Singh's first wife (who was murdered five years earlier). Members of Raghuveer's family include his two children, Karuna and Karan; his sister-in-law and the matriarch of the house, Pramila Singh; her children, Vikram and Vasudha; Ravi Sisodia, the volatile husband of Karuna; the household maid, Chunni; and Raghuveer's young bride-to-be, Radha. As Jatil begins his investigation, he finds that Raghuveer's family are a complicated group with their own secrets and lies. During the course of his investigation, Jatil observes that the rest of the family resent Radha (who was previously Raghuveer's mistress) and treat her as an outsider.
