In the middle of all these, a new face appeared in Shibpur. A Woman named Mandira Biswas who lost her husband in a gangwar and when she did not find justice due to police and goons tie up, she took up arms in her hand and killed the accused in her own hand out of rage. She was backed by Tapan Barik since Tapan realized her potential and used her against his rival Nepal Bhattacharya. But soon it appears that Mandira was more intelligent than Tapan thought.
