Mysterious Death in Beleghata: Police Investigate After Man Found Dead Near Sales Tax Building

Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, May 27, 2025, Kolkata :  A chilling scene unfolded in the busy office area of Beleghata this morning when a person was found dead under mysterious circumstances near the Sales Tax building. At around 10:20 AM, a loud noise startled the usual hustle and bustle of the area, prompting security guards to rush to the spot. What they discovered was nothing short of shocking – a man, floating in blood, his body bruised and lifeless, lying below the multi-storey building.

Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud crash and rushing to the scene, where they found the victim in a pool of blood. Emergency services were alerted, and police arrived promptly to take the man to NRS Hospital. However, despite efforts to save him, doctors declared him dead on arrival.

The identity of the deceased remains unknown, as no identification documents were found on him. Initial investigations have revealed that the man had entered the building earlier in the day, claiming to be a lawyer. The police are now reviewing CCTV footage from the building and checking the entry register to piece together more details of his movements before the incident.

The primary question surrounding the case is whether the man’s death was the result of suicide or an accident. While police are leaning towards the possibility of suicide, they have yet to draw any definitive conclusions. The investigation remains open, with all angles being thoroughly explored. Was this a tragic act of despair, or could it have been a fatal fall due to an accident?

Further complicating the case, sources have reported that no identity cards or personal belongings were found on the victim, leaving authorities with little to go on. A forensic team has collected samples from the scene, and an autopsy is being conducted to determine the exact cause of death.

The incident follows another recent tragedy in Newtown, where an IT worker took his own life by jumping from an office building, raising concerns about a possible trend of suicides among city workers. Investigators are looking into whether mental health issues played a role in this latest case, though nothing has been confirmed at this stage.

As the investigation continues, police are focusing on uncovering the truth behind the man’s identity and the circumstances surrounding his death. With CCTV footage under review and further questioning to be conducted, authorities are determined to get to the bottom of the case and understand whether this was a case of suicide, an accident, or something else.
