About the Book

Aranya Ghatak is a gripping Bengali crime thriller set deep inside the Buxa Tiger Reserve, where the serenity of the forest is shattered by calculated violence. In the remote Harindubi beat, forest guards are systematically killed by long-range assault rifle fire originating from the Bhutan hills. The mystery deepens when the naked body of billionaire Binita Mehra is discovered in the wilderness, turning a series of killings into a chilling conspiracy.

Forest Officer Pramit Banerjee joins forces with Dyuti, an anthropology student whose keen insight draws her into a dangerous investigation. As they follow the trail, they uncover a vast criminal network stretching across borders. Beyond the forest lies Joakimo—a lawless hub dominated by smuggling syndicates, drug cartels, illegal gambling, human trafficking, and black-market wildlife trade. At the center stands mafia kingpin Kuhen Karo, who uncovers a secret route capable of flooding India with drugs while devastating its wildlife.

To protect his operation, Kuhen Karo uses a young forest girl, Chimon, as bait. But Chimon refuses to be a victim. Fierce, resilient, and driven by survival, she wages her own war against the forces destroying her forest. Blending investigative suspense, cartel brutality, and jungle peril, Aranya Ghatak delivers a high-stakes narrative where crime, ecology, and human courage collide.
