Three girls - Minal Arora (Taapsee Pannu), Falak Ali (Kirti Kulhari) and Andrea (Andrea Tariang) are staying together as tenants in a posh South Delhi locality and are normal working professionals in their respective fields. One night, after a rock concert they accept a dinner invitation from Rajveer (Angad Bedi), who is the nephew of a powerful politician from South Delhi, and two others to a resort in Surajkund, Faridabad district, Haryana. Rajveer is known to Minal through a common friend. Rajveer and his friends get drunk, and so do Minal and her friends. Seeking the opportunity, the three men separate the three girls from each other . Rajveer then tries to molest Minal (Taapsee Pannu) despite she saying NO to him. Minal picks up a bottle and smashes it on Rajveer's eye, leaving him bleeding.
To avenge the same, Rajveer and his friends try to vacate the girls from their houses and threaten them and the landlord over the phone. Minal is forced to approach the police with the intention to file an FIR against Rajveer and his friends. However, knowing Rajveer and his family, the lady police officer on duty does not register the complaint. Upon realisation Rajveer lodges a false FIR against the girls, labelling them as prostitutes, using his powerful contacts. Minal is then charged for 'Attempt to murder' and for soliciting, where she could face imprisonment for more than 10 years, if convicted. The other girls are labelled as co-accused.
