Sujoy’s mother, Ruby Kedarbangshi, stated, “My son bought the motorcycle just four months ago. I even spoke to him at the market that day. I received news of the accident later. He used to work at a pandal in Maharashtra.” Dibakar and Mukesh reportedly had children. Their deaths have led to mourning in their local community.
