Kolkata, 25 April (). In a heart-wrenching incident, a 70-year-old woman was found lying with her daughter’s dead body in her house for nearly five days in Kolkata. Police gave this information.
The woman’s dead daughter has been identified as 32-year-old Dola Basu. Her mother Dipali Basu, who was staying with her daughter’s body at her residence in south Kolkata’s Ranikuthi, has been taken by the police to the Calcutta Medical College and Hospital for mental and physical treatment.
The body of the deceased has been sent for postmortem and the police have sealed the residence where the mother-daughter duo lived.
Locals told the police that the mother-daughter duo had been living in the house since 2006 and the two rarely talked to their neighbours. He used to get regular delivery of food from a special agency.
Locals told the police that though the mother used to step out of the house regularly, they had not seen her daughter for the last five days. When asked by the neighbors, Deepali Basu always used to say that her daughter was sleeping or resting.
