KAMALPUR, Oct 21 (TIWN): The mysterious death of an aged lady at Choirmaster created much controversy here at Kamalpur.

On the basis of suspicion from the part of the locales and finding some uncanny in the behaviour of the family members of the deceased, police unearthed the cremated body of the deceased after five days of death.

The local people and police kept the deceased’s son Sushanta Das and his wife Kalpana Das for allegedly murdering the old lady. Police collected samples from the decomposed body cremated it after the post mortem. Kamalpur police registered a UD case numbered 34/2016 under section 174 of CrPC.

According to the incident, one Rama Das (75) of Chotosurma area under Kamalpur police station died on Monday last during night by consuming pesticide.

The funeral works of the deceased was completed on the next morning with some close relatives among whom was Jhuma Das, an elected panchayat member from that ward.

The family buried the corpse and made the matter suppressed. The local people find something uncanny in it and suspected that, the deceased’s son Sushanta and his wife Kalpana might pour pesticide in Rama’s mouth as the deceased could not even move on her own. 

And probably to suppress the fact, they made the matter hidden from administration. Receiving the news, police rushed to the house this morning and took the body out of the burial site. There police collected samples and concluded post mortem in front of Magistrate.

It might be mentioned here that, the son and his wife produced self-contradictory comments about the consumption of pesticide by Rama. Moreover, the panchayat member Jhuma commented that, she did as her party leaders instructed.

The CPI-M leader Pran Kuamr Das and others rushed to the house and mysteriously tried to convince the police that the matter remained to be a simple incident of suicide. Now, what facts would unearth from forensic tests, remained the matter to be seen.
