Khakee: The Bengal Chapter Storyline
Khakee: The Bengal Chapter majorly revolves around the Bagha gang and how they are connected with the ruling part of West Bengal. Two close confidantes or let's say henchmen of Bagha- Sagor and Ranjit want to be the successor of the gangster. Hence, Sagor and Ranjit decide to kill the policeman Saptrishi who is heading an SIT formed by the West Bengal Government. After the killing of IPS Officer Saptrishi, the senior party leader of the ruling party Barun Roy proposes the name of Arjun Maitra to head the SIT.
After Arjun's appointment, a perfect cat-and-mouse story starts. While Bagha gets shot by Sagor and Ranjit, IPS Arjun gets all the credit. Sagor then joins hands with senior party leader Barun who also heads an illegal skeleton trade in Kolkata. Sagor joins hands with Barun Roy to become a politician while Ranjit remains a gangster overseeing all illegal activities on the ground.
Interstingly, the filmmakers' mention of the skeleton trade in Kolkata is actually real. After the killing of Bagha, Arjun gets promoted to head of security of Bengal's CM. In short, Arjun was removed from the SIT investigating bone trade and gangsters Sagor & Ranjit.
