Locals alleged that Bose had some personal problems with his wife Soma. As a result, she used to live separately. On Saturday night, locals heard Soma's scream from Bose's flat at building number 12.
Some of his neighbours rushed there and saw him lying on the floor with blood coming out of his mouth and nose. While some of them were checking with Bose, Soma left the flat without saying a word.
