Kartavya story begins with Pawan being assigned to protect a journalist who is investigating Anand Shri, a powerful godman accused of disappearing children from his ashram. When the journalist is assassinated on Pawan's watch, his superior, played by Manish Chaudhari, threatens to suspend him. Pawan begs for seven days to find the killer.
During his investigation, Pawan captures a teenage shooter who confesses that he killed the journalist under the godman's orders.
