Kolkata was left in shock on Tuesday morning after a horrifying incident unfolded near Kumartuli Ghat. Two women were caught red-handed by vigilant locals while allegedly attempting to dump a trolley bag containing a dismembered body into the Ganges. The gruesome discovery has sparked public outrage and raised unsettling questions about the motive behind the crime.
Locals Raise Alarm Over Suspicious Behavior
The two women arrived at Kumartuli Ghat in a yellow taxi, having reportedly visited Princep Ghat earlier. Their suspicious behavior caught the attention of bystanders, who intervened and demanded to know the contents of the heavy trolley bag they were carrying. Upon opening it, a shocking revelation emerged—a mutilated body, allegedly that of a woman, lay inside.
Panic and fury swept through the crowd as they immediately alerted the police. When officers arrived, a section of enraged locals demanded that the accused be handed over to them, believing the duo had traveled from another location to commit the crime and dispose of the evidence. The police, however, managed to pacify the crowd and took the two women into custody, along with the trolley bag.
Conflicting Claims Spark Further Mystery
The detained women have provided a startling defense, claiming that the remains inside the bag belonged to a dog. However, locals are adamant that the body was human and had been dismembered to fit inside the suitcase. To add to the intrigue, police reportedly found a train ticket from Kazipara station on the Sealdah-Hasnabad line in their possession, fueling speculation that they had traveled to Kolkata specifically for the act.
Investigation Underway Amid Confusion
Preliminary police reports suggest that contrary to initial claims, the body inside the bag was not headless. Investigators are now working to uncover the truth behind the macabre incident, analyzing forensic evidence and questioning the suspects for inconsistencies in their statements.
As Kolkata reels from the chilling discovery, law enforcement authorities have assured a thorough investigation. The shocking episode has not only shaken the residents of Kumartuli but also raised concerns over criminal activities in the city. More updates are expected as police delve deeper into the case, striving to uncover the real story behind this gruesome attempt at disposal.
