Thakur Mahender Pratap Singh (played by Kulbhushan Kharbanda) finds out that a witch has been creating havoc in an adjoining forest. His younger brother is played by Vijayendra Ghatge, who decides to go in pursuit of the witch and to see for himself if this indeed is true or is it a myth.While driving his car through the middle of the lonely forest, he meets a beautiful young woman, just as one villager had described. The woman gets a lift in Vijayendra's car. Then, after half an hour or so, they arrive at the old mansion which is located behind the lake in the forest. The man uses his clever seductive tactics and gets the lady to bathe with him in her bathtub. Then diverting her attention by pretending to be physically intimate with her he suddenly without warning snatches the bat locket from her neck. The lady is shocked and while shouting out in distress, at once transforms into the hideous witch that she really is. Vijayendra renders her weak and helpless by holding an holy "OM" in front of her. Then all the villagers arrive at the purani haveli and the witch is taken to the outskirts of the village and the locals along with orders from the bade thakur kill her by hanging her. A black magician manages to steal back her body along with all his followers in the dead of the night,and takes it to the new shrine, where he keeps it in a sarcophagus and promises to provide her a new body.
Some days pass off happily and peacefully, with the brothers sharing merry hours together and both the children jasmin and sahila being lovingly nurtured by preeti,who is the mother of sahila and wife of Vijayendra and loves the brother-in-law's daughter equally. Then, one fine day during the wee morning hours, Chotte Thakur Sahaab is being shown going to Mussoorie to drop his niece, Jasmin, to her boarding school. When they're crossing the lonely stretch of the forest (Veerana), the car overheats and stops. The uncle asks his little girl to wait in the car for him and leaves to fetch some water for the radiator. However, the tantrik (black magician)suddenly creeps out from behind a bush, hypnotizes the girl , and by cutting a piece of her frock and few strands of her hair makes a doll from it. He then places the glass bottle holding this doll in the witch's sarcophagus. Jasmin gets out of the car in the hypnotized state of mind and walks over to the shrine. Meanwhile, the uncle comes back with the water tin and is shocked not to find the child in the car. He follows her trail and is astonished to find himself going off deep inside the forbidden bush path. On the other side, the girl walks inside the devil's lair and comes to a standstill in front of the witch's tomb. In a shocking moment, the witch reaches out and pulls the kid over inside with her. The uncle tries to save his child but is late in opening the sarcophagus. By that time, the witch's evil spirit already manages to enter the girl's body. Thus, the uncle is rendered helpless as being badly outnumbered by the tantrik's men and is unable to save his little niece.
