Summary
Calcutta, 1960. An old friend of Byomkesh, Rameshwar Babu (Shail Chaturvedi) writes a letter to Byomkesh saying that he is getting old & has written a will. He wants Byomkesh to be the executioner of the will upon his death. Rameshwar has 2 kids, a dumb boy Kusheshwar (Raghu Mulwal) (married to a cruel girl Lavanya (Nivedita Tijoriwala)) and girl Nalini. Rameshwar's 2nd wife is sick & childless.
Byomkesh finds the letter a bit strange since Rameshwar is a very lively and jolly personality, yet his letter is very serious and religious in tone. Rameshwar can carry an entire party on his own, with his magnetic personality and witty jokes.
Plus, he talks about making sure that Byomkesh gets Rs 5000, which Byomkesh doesn't understand at all. He feels Rameshwar has gone senile with age.
Byomkesh goes to Rameshwar's home & learns that he has had a heart attack overnight. He is not allowed to meet Rameshwar by Kusheshwar and Lavanya. Byomkesh meets the treating doctor Aseem Sen (P.K. Mukherji). Dr Aseem is a heart specialist. He says that Rameshwar is stable now, but his long-term life is unpredictable. He can live for a few years or can die if he has yet another heart attack.
Aseem says that Nalini had married a boy of her choice, against family wishes. While Rameshwar has forgiven her, Lavanya has not. Lavanya does not allow Nalini into the house or to meet Rameshwar.
Rameshwar's wife Kubudni is mentally unstable and plays with toys. Lavanya effectively manages the house. Aseem suspects that Rameshwar has made a will and is also sure that he wants to leave something for Nalini. Aseem says that Rameshwar himself told him that when he went to treat him the previous night.
Without a will only Kubudni and Kusheshwar get the property, and nothing for Nalini.
Nalini is married to a middle-class man named Devnath and has 5 kids. A few days later Rameshwar has another heart attack & dies in Dr Aseem's presence.
Nalini meets Byomkesh and confirms that Rameshwar had left a will, but the location is unknown as Lavanya never left Rameshwar alone. Lavanya even checked Rameshwar's correspondence and destroyed any letters that she did not like. Byomkesh knows that a will does not require witnesses, if it is written from start to finish by the testator.
Byomkesh gets Dr Aseem to order a search of the house to look for clues that Rameshwar was poisoned. The real purpose is to find the missing will.
Lavanya is livid & calls the family lawyer. Their game plan is to get Kusheshwar & Kubudni to get equal share of the fortune. Then declare Kubudni mentally ill & transfer all the fortune to Kusheshwar.
Byomkesh finds the scent of raw onion in Rameshwar's room. He is told by Lavanya that Rameshwar had an urge to eat raw onions from about 15 days prior to his death. Byomkesh realizes that the will is written on the letter that Rameshwar wrote to Byomkesh, with camouflage onion ink. This way the will would never be visible to Lavanya and will reach Byomkesh, which it did.
In the will Rameshwar gives part of his property to Nalini and declares that the property allocated to his wife will also go to Nalini upon her death.
He allots Rs 5000 each to Byomkesh and Aseem for their services to his family
