Overview

• The May 29 chargesheet at Sealdah ACJM Court names Prasun Dey and Pranay Dey and invokes sections 103(1) and 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for murder and attempted murder.
• Police allege the brothers killed their wives and Prasun’s daughter on February 19 before intentionally crashing their car near Abhishikta More on EM Bypass in an attempted suicide.
• Investigators link the attack to severe financial distress in the family’s leather business after pandemic losses.
• Pranay’s minor son survived the crash and provided a detailed statement about an alleged strangulation and wrist injury that has become central to the probe.
• The Dey brothers remain in judicial custody and their trial will begin once the court formally frames the charges.
