Black Warrant

In 1981, Sunil Kumar Gupta joins Tihar Jail as a warden and learns more about its workings from DSP Rajesh Tomar. A surprise inspection leads to chaos.

As a death warrant is issued against prisoners Ranga and Billa, journalist Pratibha Sen seeks to interview them. Sunil makes a statement to the media.

An investigation into a jailbreak holds Mangat responsible. Meanwhile, Sunil learns more about the inmates who call Tihar home.

When an incident sparks a gang war, Tomar urges the Haddis and Tyagis to reconcile. Dahiya harbors a secret that later leads to a brawl with Sunil.

Sunil pushes for legal aid reforms for prisoners, but an irate Tomar decides to punish him, even as both grapple with personal troubles.

As nationwide riots break out, the prison falls into disarray and Tomar's leadership is questioned. Sobhraj asks Sunil for a favor.
