Local authorities have opened a formal investigation after a woman was found hanging inside her Baranagar residence.
Family members claim the death was self‑inflicted, but several neighbours dispute this narrative and have called for a thorough inquiry.
Police have seized the scene, broken down a locked door, and recovered the body. The husband and his mother have been placed under arrest pending further questioning.
Senior officials from the Baranagar police commissionerate confirmed that the case will be filed under applicable sections of the law. The final verdict on the cause of death will depend on the post‑mortem report.
