Elderly man's body decomposed body found from Agarpara flat

In a quiet housing complex near Agarpara railway station, a strong rotten smell started coming from a locked flat. Neighbours soon realised something was terribly wrong and called the police. When Khardah police station officers broke open the door, they found 65-year-old Prasanta Dutta lying dead on the and his body had already started decomposing, indicating he had passed away several days ago. Prasanta lived alone in the flat for many years. His wife and daughter stay elsewhere, and neighbours say they rarely saw anyone visiting the elderly man.

His neighbours in the building remembers him as a quiet person who had been suffering from age-related illnesses for a long time. Many people had not seen him outside his flat for the past few days, but no one thought the worst until the unbearable smell forced them to call the cops.

Khardah Police have sent the body for post-mortem to find the exact cause of death. Initial observations point towards natural death due to old-age sickness, but officers are waiting for the autopsy report before closing the case. Family members have been informed and the news has left the entire neighbourhood shaken and scared. Everyone is now talking about how a man lived and died alone without anyone noticing for days.
