Plot

She witnessed an unexpected incident while leaving college one evening. Since then, she has spoken out on behalf of her medical college student against another fellow teacher in protest of the incident. And when she went to protest, she gradually became stubborn. Later, at the same time, the school authorities mistreated Rehana's 6-year-old daughter.
