However in "Kakabaubur Prothom Abhijan", it is revealed that Kakababu lost his leg when he jumped of a cliff to help his friend Kamal. This accident however has not crippled his strong mental will and physical strength. He is much sought after by the Indian intelligence to solve critical cases of crime. He has worked in CBI for some years. He has been trapped and captured by enemies on several occasions, but escaped unhurt, or nominally hurt. In solving cases of crime, he has travelled to several parts of India and the world. Each new adventure takes him to a new destination. He is excellent in fencing, revolver shooting and swimming.
