A routine domestic dispute in Kolkata’s Sarshuna took a deadly turn, leaving 34-year-old Sunny Singh dead by hanging and his family baying for justice. Accusing his wife Punita Singh and her brother of orchestrating the killing, relatives have demanded a rigorous police inquiry.
The sequence of events paints a volatile picture. Sunny, known for his drinking habits, clashed repeatedly with Punita. Monday night’s blowout was particularly vicious—he physically ousted her and their daughter Tanisha from their rental home. Reluctant intervention by law enforcement allowed their re-entry.
Come Tuesday night, Punita found herself locked in an adjacent room. With neighbors’ aid, she descended the balcony, forced open the entrance, and stumbled upon Sunny’s body dangling from a noose. Sarshuna police station team arrived promptly, securing the scene and sending the remains for autopsy.
The medical exam revealed death due to suffocation from the hanging, neck marks prominent but body otherwise unscathed. Sangita Shaw, Sunny’s grieving sister, submitted a detailed FIR naming Punita and Rakesh Paswan as culprits, prompting immediate questioning.
As detectives delve into the marital mayhem, questions loom large: Did Sunny take his own life in despair, or was he silenced? The absence of additional trauma fuels suspicion. This heartbreaking saga highlights the perils of unchecked addiction and strife within homes, urging communities to intervene before it’s too late. The investigation presses on, seeking clarity in chaos.
