BJP leader Dilip Ghosh’s stepson found dead under mysterious circumstances
West Bengal BJP leader Dilip Ghosh
A month after getting married, BJP leader Dilip Ghosh lost his stepson who reportedly died under mysterious circumstances. On Tuesday, the body of Srinjoy, Rinku Majumdar’s son with her first husband, was recovered from a residential complex in Kolkata’s New Town.
The exact cause of death is still unclear. Police have not made any official statement and are currently investigating the matter from all possible angles. Investigators are awaiting the post-mortem report to determine the cause of death.
The 25-year-old, who used to live alone, was found unconscious on Tuesday morning and was rushed to Bidhannagar Sub-Divisional Hospital, where he was declared dead. His body was then taken to RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where the autopsy will be conducted.
Initial findings showed no external injuries or signs of struggle on Srinjoy’s body, though a bruise near his neck has raised suspicions of suicide. A conclusive cause of death will be determined after the autopsy report is released.
If it was suicide, they aim to understand whether emotional or psychological stress played a role and whether it was linked to his personal or professional life.
Rinku Majumdar visited the hospital following the incident but did not speak publicly. Former MP and Bengal BJP leader Dilip Ghosh has also not commented. Police plan to question them both and those close to Srinjoy, to uncover any possible reasons behind the death.
Srinjoy, also known as Pritam, worked at an IT firm. On April 18, the day his mother married Ghosh, the former Bengal BJP president, he was not in the Kolkata. Reportedly, he had gone on a trip with friends.
However, he had told them he planned to return to Kolkata, meet his mother, and give the newlyweds a gift. He had also expressed his good wishes for her new life.
