I have tried using different fonts and the problem persists. I had some Bengali documents which worked fine with an older installation of TeXLive. The problem appeared once I upgraded my distribution. Also I tried some standard TeX documents, compiled successfully by others in different system and I know how the output looks like. Thus I ruled out font problems. Bengali text looks alright when I write it in gedit or any other word processor. Please let me also tell you that not all the conjuncts appear messy but only two of them.
