"A young orphan named Lalon goes missing from Naba Diganta Home. Tapurdi’s friend, Professor Uttiyo Som, a social worker who helps street children, requests that Tapurdi find Lalon. Meanwhile, an unidentified elderly man’s body is discovered on the Joka Expressway. The autopsy reveals that both of his kidneys have been surgically removed. The Kolkata Police suspect that one or more organ trafficking rings are active in and around the city. Led by DCP Saurav Sanyal, the detective team from Lalbazar begins investigating. Simultaneously, with the Chief Minister Amlan Chakraborty’s approval, Tapurdi dedicates herself to uncovering the mystery behind the disappearance of children from Naba Diganta Home.

What emerges is a dark tale of murder, abduction, and deep-rooted conspiracy. The quest to find a missing boy and the struggle to dismantle a crime ring—will these investigations intersect?

How do such criminals become so powerful, manipulating politics, the administration, and the law to their advantage?

Mritera Kothao Nei (The Dead Are Nowhere to be Found) is a vivid portrayal of the everyday crimes committed under the guise of health services. Will Tapurdi be able to solve the mystery, or will she finally face defeat this time?"
