A schoolgirl from a wealthy family was brutally raped and murdered, with widespread suspicion falling on the family’s driver. He was arrested, though he repeatedly insisted he was innocent and had been framed. At the plea of the driver’s young daughter, lawyer Achintya Aich agreed to defend him in court.
The legal battle forms the plot of the Bengali web series Adv. Achintya Aich 2, which premiered on Hoichoi on August 15. The series stars Ritwick Chakraborty, Sohini Sengupta, and Saswata Chatterjee.
