The City Diary

Ulcer may have killed woman

Sipra Banerjee, whose decomposed body was found in her Alipore Road flat on Tuesday, was not murdered, the preliminary finding of the post-mortem suggests. The 60-year-old might have died because of severe bleeding from an intestinal ulcer, aggravated by heavy intake of painkillers. “The woman died on Saturday afternoon. Her son Dipankar, who seems to be lacking in maturity, has nothing to do with her death. Soon after Sipra died, he locked the flat and left for his grandmother’s house in Howrah’s Kadamtala,” said deputy commissioner (detective department) Jawed Shamim.

Cop flat robbed

Some robbers broke into the flat of a police officer and made off with ornaments and cash worth Rs 12,000 on Tuesday. The incident took place at the police quarters in Ultadanga when Suprabhat Sarkar was out and his mother had taken his son to school. She found the lock on the main door broken after returning at 1pm. After stepping inside, she found two gold chains of Suprabhat’s wife missing along with Rs 4,000 in cash.

MP bag

CPM MP Mohammad Selim’s bag was picked up mistakenly from the conveyor belt by the protocol officer of a former state governor at Calcutta airport on Tuesday afternoon. The MP was returning home from Mumbai on a Jet Airways flight. According to an airport official, the officer thought that Selim would accompany the former governor and so took his bag to the car. It was returned to Selim.

Admission

Presidency College authorities have postponed counselling and admission to botany, zoology, physiology, economics and statistics honours courses from July 10 to July 11. The sessions for other subjects will be held on schedule, said Sanjib Ghosh, the college principal.

Road mishap

A middle-aged woman sustained injuries in her legs after falling down while boarding a private bus on route 72 on MG Road on Monday evening. The rear wheels of the bus went over 43-year-old Rekha Chakrabarty’s legs. The Nadia resident was admitted to Medical College and Hospital. The bus was impounded but the driver fled.

Guard killed

A security guard was bludgeoned to death by criminals inside a cable factory at Akshara, under Liluah police station, on Monday night. Sadananda Nandi, 43, a resident of Sonarpur was hit on the head and tied with a rope after he raised an alarm.

Body found

The dead body of a 35-year-old man was found near Bally station on Tuesday morning. Police said the man used to often loiter in the area. The body has been sent for post-mortem and a case of unnatural death started.
