Kakababu O Ek Chadmabeshi by Sunil Gangopadhyay [Hardcover]

Kakababu, whose real name is Raja Roychowdhury, goes on a trip with his nephew Santu and Santu's friend Jojo, simply for a change of air. They have no intention of getting involved in any trouble, which is why they choose a quiet, peaceful place for their outing. However, trouble seems to find Kakababu, even when he doesn’t want it.

One morning, while out for a walk after waking up, Kakababu notices two men running towards him. They introduce themselves as police officers and tell him that their Superintendent of Police (SP) has requested Kakababu to accompany them. But Kakababu refuses, as he doesn’t know these men. The two officers leave disappointed. Returning to the hotel, Kakababu decides to leave immediately with Santu and Jojo to avoid any unwanted trouble.

However, trouble isn’t far behind. Shortly after they leave, they encounter SP Arun Bhargava, who almost pleads with Kakababu to accompany him to Mandi. The police are in serious trouble, and Kakababu’s close friend, Narendra Verma, had given Arun Bhargava Kakababu’s contact information. Hearing his friend's name, Kakababu feels compelled to help.

In Mandi, for the occasion of Shivratri, numerous statues of deities have been brought from surrounding villages. One of these statues, called Bhuteshwar, is 200-250 years old and has mysteriously gone missing. If it isn’t found, it could lead to riots among the people. Kakababu has never seen the statue before, so how will he find it?

Fortunately, Kakababu, Santu, and Jojo don’t have to work too hard. They manage to find the statue and hand it over to the police. But is the story over? Not quite. While searching for the statue, they find themselves entangled in a new problem. What will happen next? Will they be able to get out of this new trouble?
