Kolkata Stunned: BJP Leader's Stepson Found Dead
Kolkata’s buzzing with shock and whispers after the sudden death of 28-year-old Srinjoy Dasgupta, or Pritam as he was known, stepson of BJP leader Dilip Ghosh. It’s a tragedy that’s left everyone reeling. I mean, honestly, who saw that coming?
Pritam was found unresponsive in his New Town apartment Tuesday morning. A friend discovered him and alerted his mother, Rinku Majumdar (Dilip Ghosh's wife). Emergency services were called, but sadly, he was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. The whole thing is shrouded in mystery – so many unanswered questions.
A Cloud of Uncertainty
Early reports suggest no obvious signs of foul play. But there are rumors of a bruise near his neck, sparking speculation about suicide. The police are waiting for the autopsy results from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital to get a clearer picture. They’re investigating every angle, understandably.
They’re looking into his personal life, his job in the IT sector in Salt Lake, and his relationships. It's a painstaking process, trying to piece together the last days of his life.
The Timeline: It’s a bit strange. Pritam wasn’t at his mother’s wedding to Ghosh on April 18th. He said he was on vacation. But he'd sent his well wishes to the happy couple, so it didn't seem like there was any major family drama brewing.
Work: His workplace is cooperating with the investigation, providing information about his routine and any potential stressors.
Personal Life: There are unconfirmed reports of a party at his apartment the night before. The police are looking into that, too. It’s all very unsettling.
Both Rinku Majumdar and Dilip Ghosh have been understandably quiet. They’re grieving, and the police will likely interview them soon enough to get their perspective on things. You can imagine how difficult this must be for them.
Pritam’s uncle, Paritosh Shil, shared a heartbreaking detail. He’d planned to meet his nephew Monday evening, but Pritam called late, saying he was exhausted and had gone to bed. They were supposed to meet Tuesday morning at Science City. Instead, he got the devastating news of his death. Paritosh insisted Pritam hadn't shown any signs of distress about his mother’s remarriage.
A City’s Questions, A Family’s Grief
Pritam’s death has cast a shadow over Kolkata. It's a young life cut short, and under such mysterious circumstances. It feels like the city is holding its breath, waiting for answers. The police are working hard, but the lack of clarity is fueling speculation. It's a tough situation for everyone involved.
Being connected to a high-profile figure inevitably brings intense scrutiny. We’ll likely see more details emerge as the investigation progresses. The autopsy results are key – they’ll hopefully shed some light on this tragic situation. It's a waiting game, and a painful one at that.
