It became clear that the “mischief” was the doing of my ex-boss who was then in his late 40s. Calls came from everywhere in the state and also from outside, wherever he travelled. By just mapping the origin of the calls, I could trace his movements. When he began covering south Bengal, I started getting calls from there. I heard names of small towns and villages in Bengal I did not even know existed. I would ask my callers about their place, and they would hang up. I never got my guesses wrong. I would check with my former colleagues at my former office and its headquarters to confirm: “By any chance is he is Delhi now… There I knew it!”
