KOLKATA: Khongsit Clara, a flight attendant in her mid-twenties, died under mysterious circumstances on late Tuesday night after she fell from the third floor of a building at Keshtopur in the northern fringes of Kolkata. Clara went to the building to attend the birthday party of her friend. Clara worked for a private budget airline.
Bidhannagar City Police have detained Clara’s friend and the latter’s boyfriend for questioning.
“We came to know that Clara came to her friend’s residence at Keshtopur to attend the birthday party on Tuesday. Her friend’s boyfriend was also there. Clara’s friend lives on the third floor of the building where the party was organised,” said an officer of Bidhannagar Police.
It is learnt that statements given by Clara’s friend and her boyfriend were similar. Both said that after midnight they heard a sound following which they found out that Clara had fallen through a window. Incidentally, this was the only window in the house that did not have grilles.
“The question is, how did she fall from the third floor. Did anyone push her ? We are also trying to find out if she had any reason to commit suicide,” said an investigating officer.
A resident of Shillong, Clara, attended St. John’s High School, Hathras and Lady Keane College, Shillong. She was working as a flight attendant (inflight services) with the private airline.
