ector Rakesh Kadam is an honest police officer who ends up committing suicide due to the false accusations of corruption levelled against him by Jaikant Shikre, a crime boss, businessman and politician in Goa running various rackets like kidnapping, extortion and smuggling. Kadam's wife Megha vows revenge against Jaikant in front of him, exclaiming that God will dispense justice to him for this act. The story moves to Shivgarh, a small village near the Goa-Maharashtra border. Bajirao Singham, an honest police officer like Kadam, is in charge of the Shivgarh police station. A station house officer in charge of his own town, he resolves most of the problems in his town informally and without filing charge sheets, thereby gaining much reputation and love from the villagers.

Singham asks his assistant, Ramesh Kelkar, to bring the register containing Jaikant's record, forces a thumb impression of Jaikant's left hand onto the register, and warns him to continue signing the bail for the remaining 14 days, as a humiliated Jaikant looks on terrified by Singham's courage and leaves the village on foot as a sign of protest, refusing to travel by wheels. On the highway, as he stops at a point, he recalls his humiliation, learns of Singham's background from Shiva through a source, and using his political contacts, gets Singham transferred to Goa to seek reve
