Komoltoli is a village headed and manipulated by Chowdhury Zamindars namely Rabikiran Chowdhury and Chandrakiran Chowdhury. While all seems fine from outside in the village, but inside, there goes a series of political and malicious activities controlled by the Chowdhury brothers. The people of the village are victimised by these practices but no-one fears to voice against the ferocious brothers of the Chowdhury family.
