In a tragic incident in Kolkata, Sarthak Sarkar, a 25-year-old software engineer, was discovered dead in a rented flat following a violent argument with his live-in partner. The event unfolded in the early hours of Sunday in the Fartabad area of Garia, where neighbors reported hearing loud disputes before the discovery of the body.
Sarthak, originally from Barasat, had been living with his girlfriend, Sanchalika, and her mother, Moumita. Preliminary investigations suggest that a heated argument erupted between Sarthak and Sanchalika late Saturday night, during which she allegedly attacked him with a sharp object, resulting in fatal injuries. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Witnesses reported that around 1:30 AM, Sanchalika fled the flat, calling for help. Neighbors who responded found Sarthak lying in a pool of blood, while Sanchalika had visible scratch marks on her neck. Residents noted that the couple had been living in the area for some time but had limited interactions with others, leading to shock and disbelief among the community following the incident.
Authorities are currently investigating the roles of both Sanchalika and her mother, Moumita, in the altercation. Baruipur police district superintendent Aravind Kumar Anand stated that the investigation is in its early stages, focusing on the motive behind the argument and the specific weapon used in the attack. Both women are being questioned as the police seek to clarify the circumstances surrounding Sarthak's death.
As the investigation continues, the incident raises questions about domestic violence and the legal implications of cohabitation among couples. The community is left grappling with the shocking events, and the police are expected to provide further updates as they delve deeper into the case.
