Amidst the controversy over the death of a CPI-M leader’s wife at Sunia village in Contai where the family members alleged that the woman was tortured, gang-raped and murdered by the Trinamul Congress backed goons, the post-mortem report, however, suggests that the woman had committed suicide.
“There was no wound in the body, no injury marks in her secret parts and her death was due to hanging. This was the report of the post-mortem report which we have received this afternoon,” said Mr Sukesh Kumar Jain, SP, East Midnapore.
Mr Jain also said: “Though prima facie evidence suggested the victim was not sexually assaulted and committed suicide, we arrested three people and booked them on charges of abetment to suicide last night. They were produced before the additional chief judicial magistrate court in Contai today where the magistrate remanded them in police custody for five days.”
But local CPI-M leaders and family members alleged that the post-mortem report has been slanted at the behest of Trinamul Congress leaders. As some TMC workers and leaders are directly involved with this case, there was an effort to show it as merely a suicide case. The doctor who was to conduct the post-mortem was changed all of a sudden and another doctor conducted the post-mortem, alleged the CPI-M leaders.
The body of a CPI-M leader’s wife was found hanging from the ceiling of the verandah of her two-storied mud-house yesterday. The family alleged that the woman was dragged out of her house, paraded naked, gang-raped and then murdered, allegedly by TMC workers, on Sunday night. In the written complaint, a CPI-M local committee member, who is staying outside the village along with his son and brothers since 2011 after the change of guard in the state as TMC supporters allegedly threatened him with dire consequences, charged that the victim had been raped and killed.
