Couple found dead at home in N-Pgs

Kolkata: A couple was found dead inside their home at Agarpara in North 24 Parganas on Friday morning.

According to local residents, Amar Mondal rented the ground floor of a house at Agarpara approximately six months ago. He used to live with his wife Brinda and their three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. A source said the couple had frequent arguments.

On several occasions, Mondal family's landlord had to intervene to stop them. It is suspected a third person is involved in the case. On Friday, the private tutor of the Mondal's daughter arrived in the morning. When she knocked on the door many times but no one opened it, she immediately informed the landlord and neighbours. Neighbours broke the door and found Amar and Brinda dead. Khardah police station was informed. Police rushed the couple to Sagar Dutta Hospital in Kamarhati where doctors declared them brought dead.

It is suspected that Amar murdered Brinda and later committed suicide. Police recovered a suicide note by Amar. He said in the letter he was going to the other world with his wife. Some neighbours claimed Brinda had an extra marital affair. Ananda Roy, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Zone II of Barrackpore Police said: "The bodies have been sent for autopsy. A suicide note has been recovered. No police complaint has been lodged in this regard."
