Father Alleges Death Threats Before Brothers Were Found Dead
According to the complaint, the brothers lived in Ward No. 6 of West Dewanpasa village under Dharmanagar police station. Their bodies were reportedly recovered from the Boyakandi area on Monday night, October 19.
Their father, Samiran Roy Chowdhury, approached the local police station and expressed suspicion about the possible involvement of Bijon Das, a Boyakandi resident, and other unidentified individuals.
However, the allegations remain unproven. Investigators will need to examine the available evidence before determining responsibility for the deaths.
Complaint Links Alleged Threats to Local Dispute
The father alleged that the brothers received death threats around 11:30 PM on Sunday, October 18. According to his complaint, the threats occurred while they were attempting to settle a local dispute near the highway connecting the Agrani Sangha area in Dewanpasa and Badshah Tila in Boyakandi.
The complaint specifically names Bijon Das, son of Randhir Chandra Das, as the person who allegedly threatened the brothers.
Samiran Roy Chowdhury further claimed that his sons received several threatening phone calls from Monday morning onwards. Their deaths later that evening raised further questions about the events leading up to the incident.
Police will need to verify the reported threats, examine phone records where relevant and establish the timeline of events.
Reports Point to Possible Financial Dispute
Local sources have claimed that the dispute may have involved financial transactions. Other reports alleged that Bijon Das attempted to attack someone with a knife on Sunday night and detained a person identified as Bibek Bardhan.
According to these accounts, family members and acquaintances later rescued Bardhan. These claims require independent verification as part of the police investigation.
Bijon Das is reportedly receiving treatment at Dharmanagar District Hospital and remains under police surveillance, according to the supplied report.
Police Investigation Underway in North Tripura
Police have initiated an investigation following the father’s written complaint. Investigators are expected to examine the alleged threats, the reported local dispute and the circumstances in which the brothers were found dead.
The investigation will also need to establish whether the named individual or any other person had a connection to the deaths. Until authorities verify the evidence, the allegations should not be treated as established facts.
The case has drawn attention in Dharmanagar, a major town in North Tripura, where residents are awaiting further information from the authorities.
