The show explores themes of social injustice, discrimination, courage, and the pursuit of a better future, revolving around the life of Jagriti, a young girl from the marginalized "Chitta" community in the fictional town of Mokshgarh, Jharkhand. The Chitta community is unjustly branded as 'criminal' from birth by the oppressive and powerful landlord Kalikant Thakur. The community is denied basic rights, including education, and is forced into a life of crime and labor.
The story begins with seven-year-old Jagriti, who bravely questions the injustices faced by her people. She refuses to accept the societal branding and the tyrannical rule of Kalikant Thakur. Her relentless quest for dignity and rights for her community often puts her in conflict with the landlord and his authority.
The narrative takes a 17-year leap, with an adult Jagriti. After a traumatic childhood, she has been adopted into a wealthy family and has forgotten her past. She has now dedicated herself to becoming an IPS Officer, aspiring to fight for justice and make a difference in society.
In college, she clashes frequently with Suraj Thakur, the arrogant elder son of powerful landlord Kalikant Thakur. Despite their ongoing rivalry, there's an underlying tension between them. Jagriti, however, falls in love with Akash Thakur, Suraj’s younger brother, and they are set to marry. On the day of the wedding, Sapna, who has loved Akash since childhood, switches places with Jagriti. As a result, Sapna marries Akash, and Jagriti unknowingly marries Suraj.
Shortly after, Akash, enraged by the switch, attempts to force himself on Jagriti, but Suraj intervenes and saves her. This marks a turning point in Jagriti’s perception of Suraj. In the aftermath, as she begins to unravel buried memories, Jagriti gradually rediscovers her true identity and her roots in the Chitta community.
Determined to fight the injustice she was born into, she sets her sights on becoming an IPS officer. Suraj undergoes a dramatic transformation, turning against his corrupt father and becoming Jagriti’s strongest supporter. With his help, she clears the UPSC exam and returns to Mokshgarh as a symbol of justice and reform. Over time, the deep bond formed through shared struggle and trust blossoms into love. Jagriti and Suraj fall for each other only after she becomes an IPS officer. When Jagriti is targeted in a bomb attack, Suraj saves her life, cementing their emotional connection. They soon remarry, this time by choice and mutual love.
