Tragedy in Hooghly: Was It Murder or Suicide?

A 24-year-old nurse was found dead in a West Bengal nursing home, with her father alleging murder rather than suicide. He demands a CBI probe, showing distrust in local police. The autopsy at AIIMS Kalyani comes amid protests and accusations from political factions and family members of a cover-up.

In West Bengal's Hooghly district, a shocking incident unfolds as the father of a deceased 24-year-old nurse adamantly rejects claims of suicide, instead insisting it was a 'pre-planned murder'. The death of the young nurse at a private nursing home has sparked demands for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the incident, citing a lack of faith in the local police force.

Amidst accusations and rising tensions, the nurse's autopsy was conducted at AIIMS Kalyani on Saturday, following family and political calls for a more transparent investigation. The autopsy process, conducted under magistrate supervision, was accompanied by public outcry and suspicion, marking a pivotal point in the unfolding drama.

The incident has further ignited political demonstrations by opposition parties, BJP and CPI(M), who suspect foul play. Family members allege that the deceased was sexually assaulted and murdered after exposing irregularities within the nursing facility, charges which the management strongly denies. The issue continues to simmer, causing unrest and demands for justice.
