A 26-year-old womans body was discovered in a locked apartment in Kolkata, raising suspicions of foul play as police investigate.
Kolkata, November 11 (Daily Kiran) : In Kolkata, authorities have uncovered the body of a 26-year-old woman in a locked apartment, sparking suspicions of murder. The victim has been identified as Anjali Saha, whose body was found late Tuesday night by police in the Baranagar area of North 24 Parganas district.
Police broke into the fifth-floor apartment after concerns were raised about Anjali’s well-being. The circumstances surrounding her death remain unclear, but investigators are not ruling out foul play. A police officer noted that Anjali’s body was discovered on the floor, bearing visible signs of injury.
Local residents revealed that Anjali’s sister and brother-in-law had lived in the apartment for nearly four years. Recently, they relocated to Serampore in Hooghly district for work. Before leaving, Anjali’s brother-in-law handed the apartment keys to a neighbor, Latika Manna. According to Latika, Anjali took the keys from her on Tuesday afternoon and went upstairs.
Later that day, Anjali’s sister attempted to reach her by phone but received no response. Concerned, she asked neighbors to check on Anjali. When no one answered after several knocks, they alerted the Baranagar police. Upon arrival, officers forced entry and found Anjali’s lifeless body inside.
The body was initially taken to Baranagar State General Hospital and later sent for an autopsy. Police have launched an investigation and are reviewing footage from nearby CCTV cameras. They are also interviewing neighbors and residents to piece together the events leading up to Anjali’s death.
Authorities believe the autopsy report will clarify whether Anjali was murdered or if her death was due to other causes. The incident has left the local community on edge, raising concerns about safety in the area.
