Captain Vijay Malhotra, attempted to defend himself when army officials intercept a truck-load of arms and ammunition being sold illicitly to gangsters by officers in the Indian army, he is found guilty and is shot down and killed.
A subsequent inquiry into this incident revealed that Vijay was indeed guilty of this offence. His dead body was stripped of all medals, and commendations, and left for cremation by his wife, Geeta, and a young son, Raju. The local villagers refused to permit Geeta from even cremating the body of a traitor, and left his body to rot in the hot desert climate.
