Ghatak by Rupak Saha [Hardcover]

TV journalist Sayantan has always been quite reckless. His dream is to create an extraordinary program for the television screen. At one point, he develops a romantic relationship with his colleague Chandana. However, during their love affair, Sayantan engages in physical intimacy with Chandana against her will. Fearing pregnancy, Chandana is forced to marry Sayantan, but she cannot forgive him. She distances herself by taking a job at another channel.

During this time, Sayantan becomes increasingly disillusioned with himself and his life grows more reckless. Suddenly, he gets the idea to create a program about extremists. To make the program realistic, he contacts the extremists and accidentally discovers a group planning to blow up the city of Kolkata. Sayantan decides to take pictures of the destruction from a safe distance during the explosion, thinking the photos would become an unforgettable landmark in TV journalism.

Just as Chandana re-enters his life, she goes to Bhavani Bhavan for reporting on the same day the extremists plan to blow it up. Will Sayantan be able to save Chandana this time? The answer lies in Rupak Saha's unique novel, "Ghatak."
