- MOHUL BHATTACHARYA

A team of four people, Devraj Sanyal (founder), Ishita Das Sanyal (Director), Ayush Majumdar (Field Investigator, and Anirban Das (Technical Head) have been detectives in the field of paranormal since 2010.

It was an alien concept to Bengal that there are professionals who detect the presence of ghosts with scientific instruments like motion sensors and Electro-Magnetic Field metres. In an exclusive session with The Statesman two members of the team sat down to discuss what they do, how they do it, and some rare stories of spirit detection that they claim they have faced.
