Overview

  • Investigators discovered Sarajit Bhattacharya (70), his wife Gargi (68) and their son Ayusman (38) hanging in separate rooms of their Kasba-area flat after neighbors reported them unresponsive on the morning of June 17.
  • Police forced entry into the locked apartment at 50 Rajdanga Gold Park and recovered a handwritten note stating the family was “leaving this world on their own,” indicating a possible suicide pact.
  • Authorities have registered an unnatural death case and dispatched bodies for post-mortem examination to confirm the cause of death.
  • Preliminary inquiries found no signs of foul play, with officers noting that Ayusman was specially abled and that Sarajit had previously worked as a property broker.
  • The case follows similar family tragedies across India that have raised concerns about the impact of financial strain and mental health pressures.
