Sarojini is a spirited and plucky student daughter of Collector Chakrapani. She is admired and endeared by her fellow collegian Suri Babu that always shields her against dangers. Chakrapani is a forthright candid who induces Sarojini to move in his footsteps. He also ostracized his wicked son Inspector Sagar.
Once, Chakrapani exposes a scam committed by Home Minister. So, he is slain which is witnessed by Sarojini. Here, Sagar manipulates and cracks the case. Yet, Sarojini remains resolute and combats crime. But unbeknownst she grips the Home Minister where she is accused of attempted homicide and abuse. At that point, she gains great acclaim. Exploiting it, Chief Minister acquits and makes her contest as MLA in upcoming elections where she triumphs. At every level, Suri Babu stands in for her, and they are nuptials. Gradually, Sarojini dethrones the Home Minister by divulging his diabolic shade and receives his seat.
Meanwhile, Manoj, CM’s son doublecrosses his father by jumbling with Home Minister and also slaughters a journalist. Then, unhesitantly, Sarojani apprehends Manoj. Moreover, she decides to produce all the pieces of evidence against the government before the Governor on eve of Independence Day. Thus, begrudged CM mingles with Home Minister, and they plot to assassinate Sarojini. During the event, CM is backstabbed by Home Minister whom Sarojini recuses and reforms.
