A cold-blooded murder is talk of the town in Bengal
The macabre love story of Manua Majumdar who scripted her husband’s cold blooded murder with the help of her lover has shocked Bengal.
On May 3, Manua, a 28-yearold casual staffer at Barasat municipality, left work early to meet her boyfriend Ajit Roy, 26, at her house. The two knew each other since college. In the same room, Ajit would later brutally murder Manua’s husband, Anupam Sinha, 34, a manager at a travel agency. The two had been married for a year. Ajit hit Anupam on the head with an iron rod, then slashed his veins with a knife to finish him off. But before that he shoved the rod in Anupam’s mouth and dialled Manua so she could hear his dying shrieks over the phone. Initially, she had planned to be present during the murder.
After Anupam was dead, Ajit cleaned up the apartment. The next morning, he took a dip in the Ganges in Kolkata after throwing his clothes and Anupam’s cell phone in the river.
The police first suspected foul play when they found Anupam’s gold ring near his body — a professional criminal would not have taken off the ring from the victim’s finger and leave it at the crime scene. Ajit reportedly told the police that Manua had given the ring to Anupam on their first anniversary a few months ago and he did not want to see it on Sinha’s finger anymore. “Initially, we thought it was another extra-marital affair gone wrong. We see many such crimes these days,” said a police officer handling the probe. “But this case is a shocker for us.” Manua and her beau were arrested two weeks after Anupam, a Bangladeshi settled in Kolkata, was found murdered in his home.
