Kolkata Triple Murder Case: Family’s Mounting Debt Under Investigation


Kolkata, February (H.S.) :

The Kolkata Police are intensifying their probe into the shocking deaths of three family members, including a minor girl, on February 19. Investigators have uncovered that the family was burdened with significant debt, yet continued to lead an extravagant lifestyle, sources revealed on Sunday.

Police are expected to take into custody the two hospitalized men, Prasun De and Pranay Dey, who are brothers and the husbands of the deceased women, once they recover. The two are suspected of murdering their wives and the daughter of one of them before attempting suicide.

Their suicide attempt was thwarted when the vehicle they were traveling in met with a severe accident, leading to their hospitalization. The tragedy came to light when Kolkata Police’s traffic department discovered the bodies at the family’s Tangra residence while investigating the accident.

Initial suspicions of suicide were ruled out following autopsy reports, which pointed to homicide. Investigators also found that the Dey family, engaged in the leather goods business, had accumulated substantial financial liabilities. Despite their financial troubles, the brothers reportedly maintained a lavish lifestyle, further exacerbating their debts.

The deceased have been identified as Romi Dey, wife of Prasun De, and Sudeshna Dey, wife of Pranay Dey. The minor victim, Priyamvada Dey (14), was the daughter of Prasun and Romi.

Further deepening the mystery, police sources revealed that on the day of the murders, all CCTV cameras inside the house had been switched off. Authorities are now investigating whether this was a premeditated act.

As the probe continues, investigators are questioning close associates of the family to understand the events leading up to the tragic incident.
