Seven-year-old Sunny Deb found dead; police suspect mother's extra-marital affair to be the cause

Bizarre news coming in from Karimganj. A seven-year-old was strangled by a man in an act of vengeance. In Karimganj’s chorbazaar area, today morning, locals found foul smell coming out of a locked building in the vicinity. They informed Chorbazar TOP and from there IC Kalipada Dey and his team rushed to the spot.

“The smell coming out from the building indicated something wrong and that is why we informed OC, circle officer and others as we had to break the lock,” said IC Kalipada Dey.

It is worth mentioning here that on September 14, 2018, a seven-year-old boy Sunny Deb went missing. He was on his way to his tuition teacher Badal Deb but he never reached his teacher’s house. Sunny’s elder sister too goes to Badal Deb’s house to take tuition from his wife. When she reached there she did not see her brother and happened to ask about him. That’s when the teacher told her that Sunny did not reach Badal Deb’s house that evening. Family panicked and started searching for the little boy everywhere. A missing diary was also lodged in Karimganj Sadar Police station.

“When we unlocked the house and broke in, we recovered Sunny Das’s dead body. The body was sent for post mortem. He was strangled with a gamcha and there were no marks of stabbing or any other external wound. We would not like to speculate anything at this stage as that might derail the entire procedure,” said Kalipada Dey.

However, as per a senior police official close to the development, Police has identified Jagadish Mandal as prime suspect. As per sources in Karimganj Police, Sunny Deb’s mother was having an extramarital affair with Mandal and recently they had a fall out. Sunny Deb’s mother started ignoring him and that is why Mandal killed her son to take revenge.

As police continue investigating the matter in coming days we will certainly have more concrete information. Meanwhile, we have intentionally kept Sunny Deb’s mother and sister’s name a secret and request our readers to respect their privacy too.
