Esthappan is a DySP, who has married Nancy from a wealthy household, without the approval of her parents. He is assigned with the duty of finding the mystery behind a skeleton which was found from Ananthapuram Palace.
Pavithran, a thief claims he knows the identity of the murderer. Esthappan's wife's house is near the palace, so he sees this as an opportunity to mend his relationship with the family and solve the case with the help of Pavithran. They together attempt to figure out the identity of the murderer.[7]
Neelima is a banker and is married to Pavithran. Aniruddhan (Pavithran's childhood friend) and Suryanarayanan (a rich builder, who is Aniruddhan's relative) convince Pavithran to start a catering unit which would yields huge profits within a year. The catering unit would have 3 partners - Aniruddhan, Pavithran and Suryanarayanan and each partner needs to invest money. Pavithran mortgages his land and house to raise the money. Suryanarayanan and Aniruddhan inform Pavithran that there is a shortage of ₹30 lakhs which would take a week to arrange and they may lose the business deal. Neelima places fake gold at the bank and hands over ₹30 lakhs to her husband and Aniruddhan on the assurance that ₹30 lakhs would be returned within a week to the bank. Both Aniruddhan and Suryanarayanan cheat Pavithranan and abscond with the money. Unable to withstand the criticism Neelima who was 6 months pregnant commits suicide.
