‘Bhoot Police’ revolves around two brothers- Vibhooti (played by Khan) and Chiraunji (played by Arjun Kapoor) who are ghost hunters. But both the brothers have a different approach towards their work. One day, the duo is approached by a woman named Maya (Yami Gautam). She wants to save her father’s tea estate from the malice of a ghost. However, Jacqueline Fernandez, who plays the role of her sister wants to sell off the estate instead and move abroad. How will the duo fare on this assignment? This forms the crux of the story.
