A tragic incident in Siliguri’s Dakshin Shantinagar, near the Binoy More area, has left the community in deep shock after a young man was found dead under suspicious circumstances. The deceased, identified as Sanjay Das, was discovered hanging inside a rented house.
Following the incident, police detained his wife and her family members, including her brother, father, and mother, in connection with the case.
According to local sources, Sanjay had married Sompa Roy, who lived in the same locality, around four years ago. However, their relationship reportedly became strained just months after the wedding. Due to ongoing disagreements, Sanjay eventually moved out of his in-laws’ residence and shifted to a nearby rented accommodation. Despite the separation, tensions between the couple allegedly continued.
Family members of the deceased claim that Sanjay had been facing continuous intimidation and physical assault from his wife’s relatives. They believe he took the extreme step on Saturday after being unable to cope with the pressure. Police personnel from the Ashighar outpost recovered the body and sent it to North Bengal Medical College and Hospital for autopsy.

Relatives alleged that Sanjay recently found obscene photos of another man on his wife’s phone, which further worsened their marital disputes. They also stated that he left behind a suicide note detailing the harassment he was subjected to by his wife and her family.
Soon after the news spread, Sanjay’s family and locals gathered outside the Ashighar police outpost, demanding strict action. A formal complaint was lodged, following which the police arrested all four accused individuals. Officers have confirmed that a thorough investigation is underway to determine the circumstances leading to the young man’s death.
