The hanging body of a civic volunteer, identified as Kaushik Debnath, was discovered in his residence in Newtown, sparking a police investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. The body has been retrieved and sent for post-mortem examination as authorities seek to determine the cause of Debnath's demise. Conflicting accounts suggest potential factors such as family turmoil or financial strain contributing to the tragedy, with the Ecopark police station taking charge of the investigation.
According to statements from Debnath's family, he had been facing marital discord following his marriage about a year ago in the New Town area. Allegations indicate that Debnath's wife had been pressuring him to distance himself from his parents, leading to strained relations within the household. The situation escalated when Debnath's wife returned to her maternal home, reportedly subjecting him to emotional distress through frequent calls and verbal abuse directed at both him and his parents.
