The detective known for solving such remarkable cases as the theft of a Mughal emperor's ring, cracking the smuggling of Indian artefacts by an international gang and the horrendous murder in Gangtok which recently hit the headlines, was waiting for his old friend Chief Inspector PN Mukherjee from Calcutta Police's detective branch. While Topshe or Tapesh Ranjan was waiting for the duo's old friend and accomplice - the writer Lal Mohan Ganguly better known by his pen on August 9 in the hospital where she name 'Jatayu'.
PN as he is fondly called by all his colleagues at Lalbazar, headquarters of the city's police force, arrived at almost the same time at 21 Rajani Sen Road, in the city's upmarket Ballygunge area, as did Jatayu.
"Good Lord! You are here? What a state of affairs! What a horrible way for a young girl to die!" Jatayu exclaimed as he bumped into the mustachioed chief inspector. "Mmm... that's why I am here really. I need to consult Mr Mitter urgently," mumbled PN.
A 31-year-old lady doctor doing her post-graduation at the R.G.Kar Medical College was found strangled to death on August 9 in the hospital where she was on duty for 36 long hours. The entire city had since come out in protest against what the newspapers headlined as the second Nirbhaya style rape in a city billed as a safe metropolis for women.
Feluda lit a Charminar cigarette and said. "Of course I will gladly try and help. Topshe will you tell Banshi, the cook to bring some tea as we listen?"
