On Tuesday morning, this incident gave rise to various speculations and questions among local residents. The deceased has been identified as Pampa Mondal, aged 40. Following initial investigation, the police recovered the body and sent it to the morgue of Asansol District Hospital for an autopsy. The police have initiated a thorough investigation to determine whether family discord, suicide, or some deeper mystery lies behind this tragic incident.
According to information from police and local sources, the burnt body of Pampa Devi was recovered from the home of Narottam Mondal alias Nitai in Sonpur village on Tuesday morning. Upon receiving information from local sources, a police team from Kenda outpost quickly reached the spot. They cordoned off the house and began gathering necessary information. Immediately after the incident, the police detained the deceased's husband, Narottam Mondal, who is the president of Pandabeswar Block Youth Trinamool Congress, for questioning. His role is being scrutinized.
The incident has caused a massive stir in political circles. The accused, Narottam Mondal, is an influential political figure in Pandabeswar and is known as a close follower of the then MLA and district president Naren Chakraborty. He holds significant influence in the political sphere. On the other hand, the deceased's parental home is in Samdi village under Salanpur police station in Asansol. Upon receiving the news of their daughter's sudden and unnatural death, they broke down in tears and demanded a proper investigation against their son-in-law.
According to initial police information, Narottam Mondal had been away from the area for a long time due to political equations following the last assembly or panchayat elections. Later, his name was involved in post-poll violence, local muscle-flexing, extortion, and several criminal allegations, leading to his arrest by the police. After spending some time in Asansol and Raniganj correctional homes, he had recently returned home on bail. At such a time, the recovery of his wife's charred body from his own residence has sparked strong reactions in various quarters.
Questions are being raised: Did Pampa Mondal set herself on fire to commit suicide, or was she systematically murdered? Mystery shrouds how the fire started inside the room and who else was present in the house at that time. To uncover the true truth behind the mysterious death of the Youth Trinamool leader's wife, the police are awaiting the final autopsy report. Simultaneously, neighbors are being questioned, and samples have been collected from the scene with the help of forensic experts.
