Siliguri, 08th July: Panic gripped the Naya Basti area under Ward 46 of Siliguri Municipal Corporation after the body of a woman was found hanging inside her apartment flat on Tuesday morning. The deceased has been identified as Nivedita Das, also known as Pakhi Das (40).
According to sources, her husband Suken Das had left for work as usual in the morning, and Nivedita had returned home after dropping their daughter at school. Around 9:00 a.m., a domestic help who came for routine work found the door open and discovered Nivedita hanging from the ceiling.
She immediately alerted the neighbours, who then informed the Pradhan Nagar police and Ward Councillor Dilip Barman. Both the police and the councillor rushed to the scene upon receiving the news.
Police recovered the body and sent it to North Bengal Medical College and Hospital (NBMCH) for post-mortem. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
