Kolkata, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : Kolkata police took the girlfriend and mother of a 25-year-old software engineer to the crime scene on Tuesday, November 10, as part of the investigation into his murder. The incident occurred at a rented flat in the Garfa area, where the police recreated the scene of the crime.

Officials reported that forensic team members were present to collect samples from various parts of the flat.

According to police, Sarthak had sustained injuries from a sharp weapon to his shoulder. Both Sanchalika and her mother, Maumita Basu, have been arrested in connection with the case.

Local residents indicated that an argument had taken place between the couple that night. Hearing the commotion, neighbors rushed to the flat and found Sarthak bleeding on the floor.
