Woman's body found hanging in Thakurpukur, police launch investigation

The decomposed body of a woman was discovered hanging in a closed flat in Thakurpukur, triggering an investigation by local authorities to determine the cause of her death. The grim discovery was made after neighbors detected a foul odor emanating from a multi-storey building on Diamond Harbor Road in Thakurpukur on Sunday morning, prompting them to alert the police. Upon arrival, officers from Thakurpukur police station broke into the flat and recovered the woman's body, which is yet to be identified. Initial assessments suggest that the woman may have died several days prior, as indicated by police sources, and her body has been sent for autopsy to ascertain the cause of death.

The circumstances surrounding the woman's demise remain unclear, prompting the police to consider various possibilities including suicide or homicide. Investigators are focusing on unraveling how the woman gained access to the flat and whether foul play was involved in her death. This incident echoes a similar case from November last year, when the mysterious death of maid Pinky Bhattacharya in a house in Thakurpukur government colony stirred controversy, leading to the arrest of the house owner, Gopal Das, by authorities.
