Tragedy Strikes BJP Leader's Family: Stepson Found Dead
Kolkata is reeling from the sudden and unexplained death of Srinjoy Dasgupta (also known as Pritam), the 28-year-old stepson of BJP leader Dilip Ghosh. The young man was found unresponsive in his New Town apartment Tuesday morning, a development that has sent shockwaves through the city and left many questions unanswered.
Unraveling the Mystery
The discovery was made by a friend who alerted Dasgupta’s mother, Rinku Majumdar, who is married to Dilip Ghosh. Emergency services rushed Dasgupta to a nearby hospital, but he was pronounced dead on arrival. The lack of immediate information surrounding the circumstances of his death has sparked considerable speculation.
Initial reports indicated that there were no obvious signs of foul play. While some sources mentioned a bruise near his neck, fueling speculation of suicide, the police are awaiting the results of an autopsy being conducted at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital to definitively determine the cause of death. Police are investigating all possible angles. The investigation includes a close examination of Dasgupta's personal life, work, and relationships to determine any potential contributing factors.
- The Timeline: Dasgupta was reportedly absent from his mother’s wedding to Ghosh on April 18th, claiming he was on vacation. He had, however, expressed happiness for his mother's new marriage, sending well wishes to the newlyweds.
- Professional Life: Dasgupta worked in the IT sector in Salt Lake. His workplace is being contacted as part of the investigation.
- Personal Life: There are unconfirmed reports circulating about a party at Dasgupta’s apartment the previous night. The police are investigating the validity of these claims.
Both Rinku Majumdar and Dilip Ghosh have remained largely silent publicly, declining to comment on the tragedy. Police plan to interview both of them as well as those close to Dasgupta to gather more information.
Dasgupta’s uncle, Paritosh Shil, shared that he had planned to meet with his nephew on Monday evening but Dasgupta called late, claiming exhaustion and that he had gone to sleep. He was to meet his uncle Tuesday morning at Science City, but tragically, the news of his death came instead. Paritosh stressed that there were no obvious signs of distress or unhappiness from Dasgupta regarding his mother's remarriage. The family remains deeply distraught and puzzled by the circumstances of his death.
A City in Mourning, Questions Remain
The death of Srinjoy Dasgupta has cast a pall over Kolkata. The sudden loss of a young man under mysterious circumstances has left the city searching for answers. While police are working diligently to determine the cause of death, the lack of clarity has fueled speculation and concern. The investigation continues, and updates will be provided as they become available.
