Behala murder: Friend admits to killing Suvojit

Kolkata: A 20-year-old youth, identified as Suvojit Das, was murdered at Chanditala in Behala following an argument over objectionable comments that the victim had made at his friend's wife.

Behala police on Thursday night arrested Rakesh Sardar, who admitted to have committed the crime in a fit of rage after Das passed lewd comments at the former's wife.

The arrested person was produced before the Alipore Court on Friday and is being remanded to police custody till

February 4.

The incident happened on Tuesday late night when the victim, the assailant and three others were consuming

liquor together.

Sardar had repeatedly hit Das on his head with a piece of stone causing his death. Three other friends tried to stop Sardar but were unable to do so.

The youth was rushed to MR Bangur Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries within a few hours.

Sardar and his friends had initially told the sleuths that the injury on the victim's head was due to a road accident.

Police had detained four of the victim's friends and after a prolonged interrogation, Sardar confessed his guilt.

The sleuths investigating the case informed that all five of them would regularly consume liquor at Chanditala. They were drivers and helpers by profession.

At the time of the crime all of them were intoxicated. Cops have also recovered the piece of stone that was used for

the murder.
