In a startling turn of events, Kolkata Police have declared that two brothers are the only ones accountable for the vicious killings of their relatives in the Tangra region, ruling out the possibility of outside intervention. On February 19, the victims—two women and a teenage girl—were discovered dead in their home. After a car accident on the same day, the accused, Pranay and Prasun Dey, are presently undergoing medical care.

The Tragic Incident

Sudeshna Dey, her sister-in-law Romi Dey, and Sudeshna's adolescent daughter were found dead in their Tangra home on February 19. The horrific finding came at the same time when Pranay and Prasun Dey, as well as Pranay's young kid, were involved in an automobile accident where they collided with a Metro Rail pillar on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass. There was a lot of debate as early reports raised the possibility of a connection between the two incidents.


Police Investigation and Findings

According to Kolkata Police Commissioner Manoj Verma, who spoke on Tuesday, the two brothers acted alone in committing the heinous crime, with no involvement from outsiders. He further indicated that the motive behind the murders is likely related to their business dealings. The family operated a tannery business and was reportedly facing significant financial difficulties. Despite their lavish lifestyle, they had accumulated substantial debt, which may have led to internal conflicts culminating in the tragic event.

Confession and Legal Proceedings

During interrogation, the brothers confessed to the crime, detailing how the incident unfolded. However, authorities are seeking expert opinions to verify and confirm their statements. Commissioner Verma emphasized the need for thorough validation before proceeding with specific charges. The brothers, currently admitted to NRS Medical College and Hospital, will face legal consequences upon their recovery.

Impact on the Surviving Family Member

Pranay's minor son, who survived the car crash, is undergoing treatment at a private hospital. Authorities are considering his future welfare, with Commissioner Verma stating, "We will try if any of their relatives are willing to take custody of the child as per legal procedure." The child's well-being remains a priority, and legal opinions will be sought to ensure his proper guardianship.

Community Response and Repercussions

The incident has sent shockwaves through the Tangra community and the broader Kolkata populace. Neighbors expressed disbelief, describing the Dey family as cordial and seemingly without discord. This tragedy underscores the potential consequences of unresolved financial stress and internal family disputes.

From a broader perspective, this case highlights the importance of mental health awareness and financial counseling. Families facing economic hardships should be encouraged to seek professional help to navigate their challenges, potentially preventing such devastating outcomes.

Further Procedure

The goal of the judicial process is still to support the surviving family members and ensure justice for the victims. The devastating effects that financial and emotional strains may have on people and families are brought home by this unfortunate incident. In order to address such problems before they become irreversible, it also highlights the necessity of easily accessible support networks.
