Story


Taking Koshy to the police station, the officers are startled to see the name of well known political and media personalities on the contact list of Koshy's mobile phone. Koshy reveals himself to be the son of Kurian John and a rich and influential ex-havildar from the Indian army living in Kattapana. Fussing over this and over consultation with his superiors, Ayyapan Nair decides to go easy on him and reasons with him. But Koshy fakes a meltdown and asks for some alcohol as he is an addict. Against his better instincts Nair pours him some from the confiscated stock with help of a lady constable. Koshy secretly records this on his phone.Koshy Kurien, an ex-Havildar is on the way to Ooty with his driver Kumaran. Koshy is drunk and nearly passed out on the car's backseat with a case full of alcohol. They have opted to take the Attappadi route, which they did not know was an alcohol prohibited region. There, the car is stopped on a routine traffic stop which is a combined police and excise department checking. There on finding the alcohol in the car the excise officials manhandle Koshy. Koshy,irritated by this assaults the excise officer Faisal. On seeing this Ayyapan Nair steps in and restrains Koshy.

Koshy is remanded to 12 days in prison. Upon his release, he uses the video footage to get SI Nair and a lady constable suspended for breaking prohibition. Furious at this blatant act, Nair savagely beats down a small time crook in front of Koshy. Hearing about this and concerned for his son's safety, Kurian John sends professional assailants as a precaution for his son's safety. He also uses his influence to get an arrest warrant for Nair's wife and toddler son as she was affiliated with a Maoist organisation years ago, and this forces her to flee from home.

Nair goes to Koshy's house in Kattappana to find him. After a brief showdown with Kurian, Nair heads back to Attapadi to confront Koshy. However, monitoring the tense situation, police protection has been assigned to Koshy. Koshy however suggests an alternative, to have the showdown in the nearby Anaikatty town in the state of Tamil Nadu, beyond the jurisdiction of Kerala Police.

Nair agrees to this and during the fight he gains the upper hand. The IG and the rest of the police who were clandestinely watching the fight intervenes just when it seems that Nair is going to kill Koshy and pulls them apart. The Station Inspector tells Nair that Koshy framed himself as an alcohol addict, and Nair has poured alcohol for medical emergency to keep Koshy's blood alcohol level as required for sane functioning. This has resulted in all charges against Nair (for breaking prohibition) being dropped and him being reinstated to the police. Also the charges on Nair's wife have been dropped. A year later, Nair is transferred upon his request to Kattappana, after which he visits Koshy and shake hands with him.
