The gang subsequently traffics the women to other states, leading to a surge in women trafficking in Sundarban. In response to this issue, special crime branch officer Animesh Datta, portrayed by Saswata Chatterjee, takes on the responsibility of rescuing the trapped girls and putting an end to the violence.[7]
The authorities accidentally rescue a group of minor girls from being trafficked. They send Animesh Dutta, a rogue special crime branch officer, to the Sundarbans to bust the women trafficking racket.
