Plot

The story revolves around the adventures of Bhootboss and his assistants Pakela and Thakela, who look for people who have sinned and teach them a lesson. Together, they live high in the sky, in the ghost world, and keep an eye on the planet earth to ensure that the sinners are always under control. The Meter Of Sins (Paap o meter) tells them if any human has committed a sin and by pressing its button, they can see what the person has done (It's voice when it rings is "PAA PAA PAA PAA!"(INFINITE!)) . Along with the main assistants, Bhootboss has many more assistants who feature occasionally in the show.[6]

When Pakela and Thakela are sent to make things right, they make every situation worse. That's when Bhootboss intervenes and corrects the situation.[7]
