In April 1919, British officer Major Macdonald’s sensitive handling of the situation restores peace in Amritsar. His approach annoys Punjab’s administrators, who want to use force against the native population. In December 1919, Kantilal receives an unwelcome visitor with a subtle agenda, and he is made an offer that he might find hard to refuse.

Even as General Reginald Dyer threatens Amritsar with a promise of violence, a devious plan is hatched to draw the unsuspecting public to Jallianwala Bagh. The general leads his troops into the Bagh to unleash terror on the city’s innocent. As casualties mount, Kantilal and Allahbaksh set aside their differences to mourn the loss of a friend.

In April 1919, Amritsar reels under the effect of General Dyer’s brutal repression of civilian rights. In December 1919, a murder and a shocking revelation stir Kantilal’s conscience. At the inquiry, Kantilal finds holes in General Dyer’s testimony and proves that the general lied before the Commission.

As Kantilal draws a noose around General Dyer, the actual perpetrators of the massacre risk being exposed. But in a masterstroke, the tables are turned on Kantilal as a damning secret surfaces. Shamed and shunned by his own people, Kantilal resolves to fight back and unmask the mastermind.
