Haridevpur: Man dies after falling from staircase

Kolkata: In a mysterious circumstance, a man died an unnatural death after he fell down from the staircase of a four-storied building in Haridevpur on Thursday morning.

Police have detained a few persons to check for any foul play. According to sources, on Thursday morning, local residents of Bonomali Banerjee Road in Haridevpur saw a man identified as Kalu Dey (50) lying unconscious on the ground floor of an under-construction building and immediately informed the police.
