About the Book
Professor Nastik Naki Tantrik? is a gripping Bengali thriller that combines murder mystery, political intrigue, religious conflict, and psychological suspense. The book presents two interconnected narratives—Bhramsutra and Professor Nastik Naki Tantrik?—that gradually unfold into a complex web of conspiracy and hidden truth.

The story begins with a shocking explosion and arson during Saraswati Puja in a suburban area, triggering religious tension and political unrest. As chaos spreads, hidden connections begin to emerge between present-day terrorist activities and two mysterious murders that occurred nearly a decade earlier. Questions arise about a secret group, a mysterious figure named Maya, and a larger conspiracy that threatens social stability.

The mystery deepens when Professor Rudrapriya Roy, known for his strong atheist views, is suddenly murdered while writing an article questioning the existence of God. His death uncovers layers of hidden secrets, coded messages, and disturbing links between serial killings in North Kolkata and a remote village in West Bardhaman. The investigation led by Debarghya and Inspector Biswas reveals shocking truths about the intersection of religion, science, power, and manipulation.

As the story progresses, readers are drawn into a tense exploration of belief versus rationality. Was the professor truly an atheist, or was he secretly involved in tantric practices? Who is behind the murders, and what is their ultimate goal? The novel explores how religion and science can both be exploited for control, and how fear and division can give rise to dangerous forces.

With its fast-paced narrative, layered mystery, and thought-provoking themes, this novel keeps readers engaged until the final revelation. It raises important questions about truth, faith, power, and the hidden darkness within society.
