Incident Details

Around 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, locals repeatedly called out to the couple but received no response. They then used a ladder to enter the house. After obtaining the key to the main gate and opening it, they found Jogesh Chandra Roy lying dead in the dining room and Subarna Roy’s bloodied body in the kitchen. Police were immediately informed.

Eyewitness Account

Caretaker Dipak Chandra Roy said that their family had been looking after the house for 40–50 years. As usual, he arrived at work in the morning and noticed no movement inside the home. Suspicious, he went in and discovered the bodies. He then promptly notified the police.
