Aschhe Abar Shabor (2018) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Bijoy Sen was suspected primarily because he had a prior relationship with Rinku Roy, one of the murder victims. When Rinku was killed in Chandannagar, locals immediately targeted Bijoy due to their history together. Additionally, Rinku's grandmother reported seeing a blue car near Bijoy's house the night before the murder, which raised further suspicion about his involvement.

Foreshadowing: The investigation initially focused on Bijoy, but the real threat came from someone closer to Sofia.

ACP Shabor Dasgupta ordered Nandalal Roy to create a fake dating site profile mimicking the one Sofia had used. The purpose was to contact Sofia's friends and trace potential connections between the victims. This sting operation helped police map Sofia's social circle and eventually led them to identify a fake profile linked to the killer's network.

Foreshadowing: The online investigation proved crucial since the killer was using digital connections to target victims.

Rinku Roy's grandmother spotted a blue car parked near Bijoy Sen's house the night before Rinku arrived there by bicycle. This detail suggested that someone had been watching Bijoy's house closely, potentially implicating the killer in pre-planning the murder. However, this clue ultimately pointed away from Bijoy as the perpetrator.

Foreshadowing: The blue car observation provided an early hint that the real killer was surveilling the location.

The killer was revealed to be someone from Sofia's close circle, a person who harbored romantic feelings for her. Driven by jealousy and possessiveness, this individual murdered Sofia and the other women connected to her. The motive stemmed from personal attachment rather than random violence, making the killings an act of passionate control rather than serial random attacks.

Foreshadowing: The investigation uncovered that the killings were motivated by personal emotion, not random crime.

Joyi, Uma's roommate, discovered a batch of self-portraits and selfies that hinted at the killer's circle. Recognizing that the killer was targeting people close to Sofia, Shabor recruited Joyi as bait to lure the suspect into a trap. The plan was set at Shabor's house where the attacker was expected to strike again.

Foreshadowing: The bait plan directly engaged the killer's pattern of targeting close associates.

All the victims, Sofia, Uma, and Rinku Roy, were connected through their relationships and social circles. Sofia and Uma were close friends who attended the same party where the murders began. Rinku Roy, though from Chandannagar, was linked to Bijoy Sen. The killer targeted these women because of their connections to Sofia, viewing each as a rival or threat.

Foreshadowing: The connection between victims revealed the killer's obsession with Sofia specifically.

Nandalal Roy (Nandu) went undercover, dating Uma as part of the police operation to reach Sofia's friends. The plan worked until tragedy struck, Uma was attacked and killed on the street in a manner identical to the previous murders. Her death occurred just as she was about to reveal her location, raising the stakes significantly for the investigation.

Foreshadowing: Uma's murder proved the killer was watching the investigation closely and would eliminate anyone getting too close.

Despite Bijoy being under suspicion for Rinku's murder, Sumana (questioned about her husband Bijoy) eventually reconciled with him. After their meetings during the investigation, Sumana experienced a moment of clarity and chose to rebuild trust with Bijoy. This reconciliation highlighted how personal relationships persisted even amidst criminal investigation and suspicion.

Foreshadowing: Sumana's decision showed that genuine connection could survive the cloud of suspicion.

At the case conclusion, ACP Shabor Dasgupta reflected that the tragedies were largely caused by parental neglect. He noted how adults pursuing their own interests left children vulnerable and abandoned during crucial developmental years. The message framed the murders within a broader social context, suggesting that when caregivers fail to protect and guide their children, dangerous consequences can follow.

Foreshadowing: The final reflection tied the criminal case to deeper societal failures.

Shabor and Nandu traveled to Lucknow to investigate Sharon and her former boyfriend Sujit. They discovered that Sharon and Sujit no longer lived together, and more importantly, Sharon had previously shown interest in Bijoy Sen. This revelation added complexity to the suspect network and connected past relationships to the current chain of murders.

Foreshadowing: The Lucknow lead expanded the investigation beyond Kolkata and Chandannagar.
