Two assailants, Sagar Kumar Pal and Vicky Gupta, open fire outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan's residence and are later captured by the police with the aid of a cryptic clue in their photograph—a distinctive 'soul patch' beard, drawing attention as it sits just under Kumar Pal’s lip and above his chin. This quirky facial hair ultimately leads to their arrest following the shootout. Alongside, the long straight nose of Sagar caught the eye of the police.

As the investigation unfolds, the police rely on technical and manual surveillance to track them through multiple cities. A local shopkeeper finally spots the men due to the distinctive beard described by the police. Following the trail, the police nab the exhausted fugitives at the Mata No Madh Temple in the area of Nakhatrana, Kutch.
Further questioning unravels a deeper conspiracy involving the criminal underworld, leading to the revelation of a 'supari' (contract killing) assigned by the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang. However, the shooters concede the job was only to intimidate, not to assassinate the high-profile actor. This operation, managed over VOIP technology by Anmol Bishnoi from abroad, promises a life-changing bounty for the shooters.
The police pursuit turns up a complex network involving significant sums transferred to suspicious accounts. The arrest sheds light on a vast criminal enterprise spanning various states and countries. Amidst the breakthrough, the possibility of Salman Khan’s testimony as a witness looms over the high-profile case, as the investigation continues at a rapid pace.
