The father of a 25-year-old man, whose mutilated body was recovered near Sreerampore railway station in Hooghly district, on Monday alleged that his son was killed after an altercation with a Trinamool Congress councillor’s brother, police said today.
The body of Snehashish Dasgupta, a Kolkata Port Trust goalkeeper, was recovered by Government Railway Police (GRP) from the railway tracks on Sunday.
Dolon Dasgupta has alleged that his son was beaten up and killed by TMC councillor of Ward no. 27, Mousumi Nag and her aides on the night of September 29 (Navami) following an altercation with her brother, an official of Sheoraphuli GRP said.
Snehashish’s father also claimed that a suicide found on his Facebook account was posted by someone else on his behalf, the official said.
Ms.Nag’s husband and former TMC councillor of Ward no. 27, Pintu Nag, however, rubbished the allegations levelled by Snehashish’s father and demanded an inquiry into the incident, the GRP official said.
Meanwhile, a BJP delegation on Monday visited Dasgupta’s house, and gave a “48-hour ultimatum” to police to complete the investigation failing which, they will press for a CBI inquiry, he said. The GRP has started an investigation into the incident.
