Overview[edit]
- Season 1
This series is about a rebellious cop, Arjun Rawte. He is transferred to the Emergency Task Force (ETF), which solves cases linked to high-profile individuals. Team ETF contains Sameer Rathore (chief), Arjun Suryakant Rawte (2nd in command), Riya Mukherjee, Shreekant Sen (Shree) and Chandrakant Patil (Chotu).The show deals with crimes such as human trafficking, organ trade, kidnapping murder, and honor killing. ACP Arjun Suryakant Rawte rises from being 2nd in Command to lead ETF.
Arjun lost his wife, Roshni and has been behind Sikandar, who killed his wife from the last two years and has vowed to never let anyone break the walls of his heart until he meets Riya, the only girl that made him smile. After continuously belittling her and telling her to go back to the research desk as a statistical analyst, he realises her true potential when she swallows a virus to save the entire city. She declares her love and dedication for her duty and breathes her last.
During a college student's disappearance, the team meets Ayesha Kapoor, as Nadiya who was working undercover on a drug racket case. Getting her cover blown, the DIG assigns her to ETF as an guns and ammunition expert, and over time she forms a special bond with Sameer. ETF has a good news, where Lisa D'Cruz, a forensic expert joins the team under DIG's suggestion, where it is found that Lisa was a friend of Shree during college days, and due to jealousy of Lisa, their friendship was implicated. She calls Shree "Specky Sen" and fights with him a lot. She became good friends with Ayesha. Under the order of the Home Minister, that the ETF does indeed solve many cases, but due to them not having enough coverage, the people are losing their trust in the police, so he assigned Sakshi, criminal journalist to publicize their actions. Because of her happy-go lucky attitude, she had altercations with Arjun right from the first day. She is seemed to have a crush on Arjun.
Arjun and Sameer's relationship was bad after Roshni's death as Sameer blamed Arjun for her death but it turned worse after Riya's death. On Riya's 6 month death anniversary, Shree and Chotu sees Arjun doing a puja for Riya in the temple especially when he doesn't believe in God and they change their perception about him.
Soon a simple yet complicated case arrives at the ETF office. A 67 year old woman reports that her grandson has died due to the doctors fault and it is coincidentally the same hospital where Riya was taken to. After investigating the case, the team doesn't think anything is wrong until another case is reported and a junior doctor speaks against the doctors with the team and so Ayesha and Sameer go as an undercover couple to research. They soon investigate and get to know that a retired scientist was trying his medicines which were rejected on people with the help of his grandson who was a junior assistant in the hospital.
1 month later:-
Everything is going smoothly at the ETF. One day Sakshi is given an assignment to fill out for her colleague's column in the newspaper and on doing so she reaches the record room where she finds the file of the virus and she wants to write an article on it but Arjun warns her to never touch that topic again and humiliates her. Everyone is left shocked but Sameer knew that none of them wants Riya's name to be in the news as she did what she had to, her duty.
Arjun is torn between right and wrong, revenge and love, heart and mind, body and soul.
