Us waqt unka kuchh phone aa raha hai bolke phone kaat diye the. Fir uske baad aisi khabar aaya hai. Maine unke saath kuchh baat bhi nahi hua hun. Toh main kya bolun aapko (I didn't know. I came to know from the media what had happened. Why did he do this, I didn't know anything. I haven't talked to him since this morning. He had made a video call to his daughter in the morning. At that time he had disconnected the phone saying that he was getting some calls. Then after that such news came. I haven’t even talked to her. So what can I tell you.),” Jayanti Das said.
She further revealed that earlier he was totally fine but he was mentally disturbed and was taking medicines since seven-eight years. He had come home 4-5 months ago and everything was normal.
“Pehle bilkul theek the. Lekin unki dimaag thodi si kharaab tha. Woh medicine le rahe the… 7/8 saal se woh medicine le rahe the. Unke kuchh bhi problem nahi tha. 4/5 mahine pehle ghar aaye the.. Sab kuchh normal tha (Earlier he was quite fine, but his mind was not quite right. He was taking medicine...for the last 7/8 years. He didn't have any problem. He came home 4/5 months ago. Everything was normal.),” the accused cop’s wife added.
