Chakku has to run and come to Delhi after he kills three boys of the village who belonged to the upper cast. He himself comes from a lower cast which is the reason he constantly gets bullied by the upper cast boys. His father, on the other hand, is a drunkard who used to beat Chakku when he was a kid. This leads to him turning into a very aggressive person in life. Chakku, even after murdering three boys, does not give in to evil and sticks to low profile crimes like robbery.

For the unversed, Paatal Lok on the surface is a simple case of a failed assassination attempt but has a deep underlying story that surfaces, in the end, revealing how complex the who set up was. It is penned by Sudip Sharma. Talking about the show, esteemed director Anurag Kashyap, in a tweet, said that Paatal Lok is "the best crime thriller to come out of this country. It comes from the understanding of Real India. The dark heart of India, the communal and casteist India. But it doesn’t judge it.”
