Police findings revealed that Aurobindo De had visited a solicitor to submit his will, the night he allegedly committed suicide.
Two days after a man was found living with the skeletons of his sister and two dogs in a house in Kolkata's upscale Robinson Street, the mystery in the case has widened.
Investigators revealed that Partha De had informed the Don Bosco School, where his sister Debjani De used to teach music, that she had died five years ago in a car accident. However, the forensic test conducted on the skeleton found in the room of Partha, dates to four-six months back. Police is awaiting the DNA test report to confirm whether the skeleton was of his sister Debjani.
Police findings revealed that Debjani and Partha's father, Aurobindo De, had visited a solicitor Subir Majumdar on June 8, the night he allegedly committed suicide. “He came to submit his will. He wanted the power of attorney to be distributed between the son and daughter,” said Majumdar.
Sleuths are trying to find out whether Aurobindo knew that his daughter was dead, as he had not mentioned her name in his suicide note.
Meanwhile, police have learnt that Partha had been in constant contact with his cousin sister since January this year and the last few calls from his phone were made to her. On Saturday, the police interrogated her for over two hours.
The local court has issued an order for the police to further interrogate Partha. News has also surfaced that the Investigating Officer in the case Surojit Banerjee is being transferred to the Reserve Force, however, the order has not been passed yet, till the last reports came in.
Not completely rubbishing an incestuous relationship between members of the De family, a senior police officer investing the case said, "Going by the content of the notes and those of the diaries recovered from the apartment, it seems that the members of the De family had a very complex set of understanding between them." which owned the apartment .
The house on 3, Robinson Street stands on 23 kottahs of land in downtown Kolkata and was built in the 1950s by the father of Aurobindo De, the septuagenarian who allegedly committed suicide by setting himself on fire in his bathroom after bolting it from inside on Wednesday night. While Auroabindo stayed in a three-room flat of the house, his brother Arun stayed in the adjacent portion of the building. There are a couple of tenants too. The probe into Aurobindo's death led to the discovery of the skeletons allegedly of his 50-year-old daughter Debjani and two dogs in the apartment and the living mentally unstable 45-year-old son Partho, who said he was living with them for six months.
