GRAHAN tells the story of Parvati Shastri (Paro), a poor middle class with high values and rich in Indian culture. Parvati is the daughter of Shastriji, a retired classical music teacher and she herself teaches classical dance to school children to make two ends meet. One evening, while returning home from one of her performances, Parvati is abducted and brutally raped by Sanjay Acharya, the son of the Chief Minister. Parvati is kept a prisoner by Sanjay’s goons until her wounds have healed so as to erase all traces of evidence. When she is finally released and thrown on the roads, she is rescued by a passerby who happens to be a journalist. An FIR is lodged against Sanjay and the Chief Minister is informed of his son’s act.
