Ekenbabu
Ekenbabu (transl. Mr. Eken) is a Bengali detective fictional character created by author Sujan Dasgupta. The first story of Ekenbabu, "Manhatane Moonstone" was published in Anandamela in 1991.
Ekenbabu is a police detective who looks like a very common Bengali man. He studied criminology in the USA. His real name is Ekendra Sen. He is eccentric, a little comical and takes snuffs. He is a man with a sweet smile, a bald head and a round face. Although he is a government employee, he likes to solve cases in his own style unlike a typical investigator. Ekenbabu is accompanied by his friends, Bapi and Promotho. Promotho is a Chemistry post-doc researcher and Bapi is a Physics professor at New York University who writes the stories of Ekenbabu.
