Some terrorists have sneaked into the hospital and have kidnapped the daughter of the Home Minister Zachariah Thomas. They have also planted bombs at various places within the hospital.

Nobody else in the hospital is aware of this situation. Balagopal understands that before the patients come to know of this and get panicky, he must do something. Moreover the lives of many patients, doctors, staff members and countless other people are at stake. Balagopal swings into action and in the next two hours, he displays unusual courage and wisdom.
