The tragic deaths of three family members in Kolkata’s Tangra area have taken a shocking turn as the autopsy report revealed chilling details that deepen the mystery. The bodies of Romi Dey (44), Sudeshna Dey (39), and Priyamvada (minor) were discovered under suspicious circumstances, leading police to investigate whether this was a case of suicide or something more sinister.
The Discovery of the Tragedy
The police learned about the deaths in an unexpected manner. On Wednesday afternoon, a high-speed car crash near the Avishikta crossing involving Prasun Dey, Pranay Dey, and a minor boy, Pratip led to their hospitalization. The car was reportedly traveling at 100 km/h before the accident. When the police arrived to take statements, Pranay Dey made a shocking confession—three family members had been found dead at their home.
Gruesome Scene at the Dey Residence
When the police arrived at the house in the Tangra PS area, they were met with a horrific sight. The bodies of Romi, Sudeshna, and Priyamvada were found in separate rooms, with bloodstains throughout the house. The autopsy revealed that Romi and Sudeshna had their throats slit and wrists slashed, while Priyamvada had bruises on her lips and nose, with froth coming from her mouth, suggesting possible poisoning.
Investigators confirmed that no poison was found in Romi and Sudeshna's bodies, raising questions about whether the deaths were staged to look like a suicide.
Possible Motive: Financial Troubles and Business Losses
Authorities are exploring the possibility that financial distress may have driven the family to take such extreme measures. Reports suggest that the Dey brothers had suffered significant business losses during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to mounting debt and financial instability. Just a day before the incident, “well-built men” were seen at their factory, possibly indicating pressure from debt collectors or business disputes.
Additionally, business associate Manoj Gupta visited their home but received no response from the family. Surveillance footage from around 12:54 am on Wednesday captured the two brothers and Pratip leaving the house, fueling speculation about what transpired that night.
Murder or Suicide? Unanswered Questions Remain
While initial reports suggested suicide, the autopsy report and crime scene details paint a more complex picture. Why were only the women and the minor girl targeted? If it was a financially driven family suicide pact, why did the men survive the car crash? Was the accident an attempt to end their lives, or was it an escape plan gone wrong?
Authorities are investigating all possible angles, including financial disputes, external threats, and foul play. The police are also questioning business associates, family members, and neighbors to piece together the events leading to this horrific tragedy.
As the case unfolds, the Kolkata crime branch is working to unravel the secrets hidden within the Dey household—a story of financial turmoil, mystery, and an unsettling chain of events that has left an entire city searching for answers.
