About the Book
Kohra is a gripping Bengali thriller novel that blends love, politics, corruption, and crime against the haunting backdrop of Uttarakhand’s pristine natural landscape. The story follows Nimisha Singh, a young woman from Pauri Garhwal who dreams of working in a luxury five-star hotel, and Dipraj, an aspiring journalist from Gopeshwar. Their love blossoms during their college days in Dehradun, but their lives take a dark turn when Nimisha joins the luxurious Silent Valley Resort near Yamkeshwar.

As Dipraj begins his career as a journalist with Garhwal Post, he uncovers the dangerous nexus between land mafias, corrupt politicians, and illegal development projects targeting protected forest lands under the so-called “Nature Stay” initiative. On the night of Diwali, Nimisha mysteriously disappears, and her mutilated body is discovered days later in Chilla Canal. Authorities declare it an accident—but Dipraj refuses to accept the official version.

Driven by truth and justice, Dipraj’s investigation exposes layers of conspiracy, power abuse, and systemic corruption. Social media erupts, and the case reaches the High Court, leading to a CBI investigation. The novel masterfully unfolds the mystery surrounding Nimisha’s death, revealing shocking truths hidden beneath the dense fog of lies and influence.

Blending emotional depth with investigative suspense, Kohra offers readers a powerful narrative rooted in realism, highlighting the harsh realities of corruption and the courage required to challenge it.
