A 52-year-old woman was found dead in her home in Kalighat, Bajali district, on the morning of Wednesday, March 11, 2026, in what police described as suspicious circumstances. The deceased has been identified as Dipali Das, and authorities have launched a criminal investigation after family members discovered her lifeless on the bed.
Police from Pathsala Police Station and a forensic team rushed to the scene to examine the house and collect evidence. The body has been recovered and officials said procedures are under way to send it for a post-mortem examination, which is expected to determine the exact cause of death.
Suspicion has fallen on the victim’s husband, Gopal Das, who local sources have accused of allegedly killing his wife while she slept during the night. Those sources also claim the husband had a history of frequent alcohol consumption and that the couple had experienced episodes of physical and mental harassment, though these allegations have not been independently verified by investigators.
Authorities cautioned that the exact sequence of events remains unconfirmed pending forensic analysis and the post-mortem report. Police said a thorough inquiry is ongoing and further action will be taken based on the findings.
The case has provoked fear and outrage among residents of the area, who voiced concern about the possibility of domestic violence. Local leaders and neighbours have called for a prompt and transparent investigation to ensure justice.
