The case was highly publicized due to the brutality of the crime and the fact that the accused were young people, some of whom were minors. The trial resulted in the conviction of several individuals, including a juvenile, who were found guilty of murder and other charges.

The film narrates the events leading to Ankur's murder and the subsequent investigation. Ankur was having an affair with a married woman, Dr. Priya Shrivastav (played by Sayantani Ghosh), who was also a surgeon. When Ankur decided to end the relationship, Priya's husband, Dr. Rajesh Shrivastav (played by Zarina Wahab), conspired with his friend and business partner, Dr. Rohan Mehra (played by Manoj Bajpayee), to murder Ankur.

The trial of the Ankur Arora murder case began in 2014, and it was one of the fastest trials in Indian judicial history. The prosecution presented a strong case against Dr. Amit Kumar and Rajesh Kumar, with several witnesses testifying against them. However, the defense argued that the investigation was biased and that the accused were innocent.
