TT  Correspondent   |   Alipurduar   |   30.07.21: A young couple was found dead under mysterious circumstances at their house in Falakata of Alipurduar district on Thursday morning.

Police sources said Subhajit Das, 30, and his wife Payel, 28, were found lying dead in their room, while their three-year-old daughter was spotted wailing in the bed.

It has been learnt that Subhajit used to work at a private company in Bangalore and Payel was associated with a private nursing home in Falakata.

As the couple did not come out of their room till late on Thursday morning, Subhajit’s mother repeatedly banged the door and screamed their names. Later, she called the neighbours for help.

The police sources said their neighbours broke the door after there was no response from Subhajit or his wife.

“We saw the little girl lying on the bed. Subhajit was found hanging, while Payel was seated dead in a chair,” said a resident of Collegedanga.

The police have recovered the bodies.

“We are waiting for the post-mortem reports to ascertain the cause of their deaths. Our officers are trying to gather information about the couple,” said Kuntal Banerjee, the additional superintendent of police, Jaigaon.
