Dwitiyo Purush

Dwitiyo Purush

In 1993, during a gang war, in which police and politics got involved, three heinous killings were committed by Khoka, a 15/16-years-old drug-addicted gang leader in Chinatown. These victims were: Rumi, a member of a rival gang (struck by Khoka's knife through the lower abdomen; Khoka's gang member Kalu was subsequently ordered to use it to carve his name on the man's forehead); an unknown police informer (throat was silted right through with a razor at tannery by Kalu; same weapon used to carve Khoka's name on the man's forehead); a police officer (hacked to death with a cleaver; same weapon used by Kalu to carve Khoka's name on the man's forehead). Khoka was captured by Inspector Pranab Roy Chowdhury, elder brother of Probir Roy Chowdhury. The story goes forward in 2019 where Abhijit Pakrashi, who is being regularly haunted by Probir's suicide, is given a case by Commissioner Dibakar Bose and Debu to capture Khoka who had been out of prison one month ago and committed a murder of a gang rival leader Haroo in the exactly same pattern and in the same place as he did in 1993. Abhijit is himself having a torrid time with Amrita, now his wife, and he suspects that she is having an affair with Shurjo Sinha. Nonetheless, Abhijit starts the investigation with a young fellow officer Rajat Chakrabarty, thereby bringing Abhijit to the brink of divorcing Amrita.
