Satluj Movie

Bannowal (Jyoti Dogra), the mother of his deceased friend Kirpal (Bhupender Singh), has gone missing. Jaswant seeks the help of his police officer friend, Senior Constable Satnam Singh (Saurabh Sachdeva), but Satnam feigns ignorance and advises him to stay away from the matter. Unwilling to give up, Jaswant begins investigating and discovers that Gurpej was declared an unclaimed body and cremated without her family being informed. As he examines crematorium records and speaks to the staff, he uncovers a horrifying pattern – the Punjab Police has allegedly been killing innocent people, often on flimsy grounds, and secretly cremating their bodies as unidentified corpses, even as their families continue to wait for their return. Jaswant investigates only three crematoriums, in Patti, Durgiana and Tarn Taran, and discovers records of more than 2,000 such bodies. Determined to bring the truth to light, he approaches the court and exposes the police atrocities before the world. Initially, the authorities ignore him, hoping that the controversy will eventually die down. However, when Jaswant refuses to be silenced and the issue continues to gain momentum, the police resort to extreme measures. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
