Plot summary

Vikram Singh, a local politician known as Vicky Banna, leads a rally in Sawalpur that ends in stone-pelting and a clash with the Muslim neighborhood. His fiancée, Nivedita Singh, calls him a coward over the violence, and after he pushes her away she leaves his house with a letter saying she wants no part in the family's politics. Vicky's men find her while she is still in the city. Rahab Ahmed, who has come back to India and is driving to a literature festival where his wife, Nandita, is appearing, pulls her into his car and out of their reach. Vicky's camp then puts out a false story that the two have run away together, and the rumor spreads, closing the roads and turning strangers against them.
