The film narrates the compelling true story of J. P. Singh, an Indian diplomat posted at the Indian High Commission in Pakistan, whose routine life takes a dramatic turn with the arrival of Uzma Ahmed on May 5, 2017. Uzma, a distraught woman, claims to be an Indian citizen who was abducted to Buner, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and forced into marriage with Tahir, a Pakistani man of Pathan descent. She recounts a harrowing ordeal of physical and sexual abuse inflicted by Tahir. A mother to a daughter with thalassemia from a previous marriage, Uzma initially trusted Tahir’s intentions when they met in Pakistan but was subsequently taken to a remote village under false pretenses. Her entry into Pakistan without proper immigration documentation or police reporting, allegedly orchestrated by Tahir, raises questions about the credibility of her account. The story highlights themes of resilience, diplomacy, and the pursuit of justice in the face of adversity.
