SynopsisTwo years after the events in '4 the People', a group of four students join up to fight corruption in education. They are angered with the suicide of a student who does not get a loan for her studies. The police department brings Rajan Mathew (Narain) back from the administrative job that he had been shifted to for killing a student.
