Plot[edit | edit source]

Season 1[edit | edit source]

The story of Abar Proloy is set in the Sundarban forest in West Bengal part. The story starts in 2004, revolving around a critical problem arising in the Sundarban where a group of teenage boys manipulate young girls and women by luring them into a trap of love. 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.[8]

Season 2[edit | edit source]

The second season shifts the setting to the urban landscape of Kolkata. The narrative focuses on Animesh Datta investigating a series of high-profile gold heists executed by a criminal syndicate. The perpetrators leave a signature known as Netaji's Salute at the crime scenes, leading to an investigation into a wider conspiracy involving political corruption.
