Summary
Calcutta, 1963. Nengti (Pinaki Mukherjee) is a child detective & Considers Byomkesh his master. Ajit (K.K. Raina) asks Nengti about a beautiful woman in his house. Nengti says that she is the daughter of Mr Kamal named Hema. Kamal died in Bangla riots & she came to Calcutta to stay with Santosh (Rajendra Gupta) (Santosh is master of the house where Nengti works). News reaches Byomkesh that Hema has died by falling off the balcony.
In the house are Ravi Verma (Narendra Gupta) (Santosh's secretary), Chameli (Santosh's wife), Twin boys Uday (Bhuvan Mansodia) and Jugal (Mukesh Ramani), Nengti and Chingri (Pamela Mukherjee) (who work in the house). Santosh is the head of the house & travels on weekends. The death occurred on a Saturday.
Santosh & Kamal were friends & Santosh knew Hema since childhood. So, when Kamal died, he gave roof to Hema. Chameli didn't like Hema. Santosh was told about Hema's death on phone by a stranger & he came back to Calcutta. Santosh admits that he has a mistress for last 10 years, Sukumari (Saavri), whom he visits every weekend as he is not attracted to his wife. Sukumari stays in an apartment arranged for by Santosh & has a phone, whose number no one has except Santosh and Sukumari. Sukumari is a public singer and doesn't want to give up her profession. So, she agrees to stay in Santosh's apartment on every weekend, Saturday and Sunday.
So, it's a mystery as to who called Santosh to tell him about Hema's death.
The roof has access via a scaffolding that surrounds the house. The next day Nengti tells Byomkesh that a fire broke out in Hema's room & destroyed everything just in her room. The police had found a bunch of keys on Hema's dead body. One of the keys did not fit any lock in the house.
Nengti tells Byomkesh that he used to hear a mouth-organ sound, which was a signal for Hema to exit the house & enter a taxi waiting a little further away, with a man inside. She would return an hour later. This was a monthly routine.
Jugal & Uday both admit that they loved Hema. Uday admits that he followed Hema to the roof on the day of her murder, but he found the roof door locked from outside (the police said that the door was open when they reached the roof).
Byomkesh meets Sukumari who confirms that Santosh received a call informing him of Hema's death and he left for home right after.
Byomkesh asks Ajit to keep an eye on Ravi. Ajit finds him going to Shahnaz hotel, where people from East Pakistan come & go. The key from Hema's bunch opens the door of one of the rooms at Shahnaz hotel. The manager of the hotel says that the room was rented by a man from Dhaka, who paid for the whole month but only stayed for a few days. The manager says that the room is registered under Umar Shiyazi. Byomkesh finds a book with papers inside the room, along with a mouth organ..
Byomkesh confronts Santosh & says that Santosh used to love Hema's mother. That's why he would visit Dhaka frequently. He even converted to Islam & married Hema's mother & gave half his Calcutta property to her. Hema's mother kept the papers carefully & upon her death passed the papers to Hema. Hema & her lover Umar started blackmailing Santosh & Hema even started staying in Santosh's house. Santosh killed Hema (he entered the roof via the scaffolding) & set fire to her room as he could not find the property papers. Byomkesh found the property papers in Umar's room in Shahnaz hotel.
Ravi knew that Hema is blackmailing Santosh and used to follow her to the hotel. Ravi knew that the property papers are in Hema's hotel room. Ravi also wanted to blackmail Santosh.
On that Saturday, Santosh had read the newspaper which carried the news of a plane from Dhaka to Calcutta crashing & the list of passengers. The passenger list had Umar Shiyazi. Santosh figured that 1 blackmailer is gone & this is a golden opportunity to kill the other & remove this problem permanently.
Sukumari had cooperated with Santosh in this scheme and corroborated his statement of receiving a phone call of Hema's death. There was no phone call.
Santosh commits suicide.
