Summary
Calcutta 1935. Karali Babu is a rich man with multiple properties in Calcutta and has been murdered. He was a bachelor and lived in his house with 3 nephews Makhanlal (Tushar Majumdar), Motilal (Asit Banerjee) and Chunnilal (Rakesh Sahu), & 2 children of his brother Sukumar (Naved Aslam) and Satyavati (Sukanya Kulkarni). Karali was temperamental and used to change wills frequently from Makhan, to Moti to finally Sukumar.
Moti is absconding since Karali's murder. The day before the murder, Moti was heard fighting with Karali regarding the new will.
Karali was murdered by inserting a fine pin in a delicate part of his neck, just below the Medulla Oblongata. The house servant saw Moti leaving the house just past mid night and Sukumar entering the house after about 15 mins. Byomkesh finds 3 pin holes in Karali's neck.
Byomkesh meets Chunnilal, who feels that Sukumar is a deserving candidate for the wealth as he is educated and will become doctor. Chunnilal is now dependent on Sukumar's good graces to stay further in Karali's property. Chunnilal says that it is pointless to suspect Moti as all 3 brothers were removed from the will at one point or another.
Sukumar claims that he was returning from cinema that night. He also claims that earlier in the day, he was trying to convince Karali to divide the wealth equally amongst brothers. Satyavati claims that she took the morning tea to Karali & discovered his dead body. Byomkesh tries hard to ask if this was the first time Satyavati saw Karali dead, but Satyavati sticks to her story. Byomkesh finds the crochet of Satyavati, but finds the needle is missing.
Byomkesh speculates that the dark spots on Karali's nose were due to chloroform administered to prevent him from screaming. There were 3 pin holes, as the killer couldn't find the right spot in the first 2 attempts.
On Sukumar's desk Byomkesh finds a book in which he has underlined the medulla attack strategy with red pencil. But no red pencil is found in his desk. He finds chloroform in Sukumar's closet, which was used to sedate Karali, so that he doesn't scream when attacked with needles.
Motilal is caught the next morning & claims that he was out drunk & sleeping. Byomkesh also finds another will in Sukumar's luggage, dated to the day of Karali's murder & made to Chunnilal.
Police is about to arrest Sukumar when Byomkesh again speak to Satyavati who confirms that Sukumar left the house around 9 to watch a movie. At 10 30 she heard noises in Sukumar's room, as if someone was moving around heavy boxes. She went in a few minutes later in Karali's room to find a needle stuck in his neck.
Satyawati tells Byomkesh that Chunnilal was very interested in studies. Byomkesh studies the will made to Chunnilal and finds that there are no witness signatures on the same.
Byomkesh finds that Chunnilal is in habit of borrowing Sukumar's medical books and has a red pencil as well. Byomkesh confronts Chunnilal, who goes pale and asks for 1/2 hr. He commits suicide and leaves a note professing his love for Satyavati. Byomkesh reveals that Chunnilal murdered Karali after Moti left the house shortly before midnight. He has taken the needle from Satyavati's crochet earlier. The Chunnilal took the last will from Karali's closet. He hid the chloroform bottle and the last will made to Chunnilal in Sukumar's room, to point the needle of suspicion firmly at Sukumar.
