Premise

The series follows Sodhana, a private detective who tackles various societal issues by investigating cases at a detective bureau. Each episode features a new case, with Sodhana assisted by two comedic characters: Baby, a female assistant dressed in a schoolgirl-style skirt; and Bobby and a male assistant in a suit, tie, and hat. These assistants often create humorous situations by unintentionally complicating the investigations, adding a lighthearted element to the series.
