Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The names of two brothers from the De family, Pranay De and Prasun De, were included as the accused. They were charged under multiple sections of the BNS, including BNS section 103(1) pertaining to murder and 109(1) pertaining to an attempt to murder. Both Pranay and Prasun are currently in judicial custody. A total of four testimonies have been incorporated, including those of Prasun, Pranay's minor son, a relative of the De family, and another individual. The minor's son is listed as a witness. On Feb 19, the bodies of two women and a teenage girl from the same family were found at their home on Atal Sur Road in Tangra. The remaining three family members were involved in a car accident, where their vehicle hit a metro pillar near the Bypass. Prasun, Pranay, and Pranay's 14-year-old son were in the car. It was through them that the police discovered the three bodies at the Tangra residence. The autopsy report revealed that all three were murdered. The cause of death for the teenage girl, Priyambada, Prasun's daughter, was food poisoning. The two other female victims – Romi, Prasun's wife, and Sudeshna, Pranay;s wife – died from excessive bleeding from their slit wrists. Following this incident, Romi's father filed a murder complaint at Tangra police station, prompting the police investigation. The probe was eventually taken over by the detective department. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Confirming that the charge sheet was submitted by the detective department and Tangra police, Joint CP (crime & traffic) Rupesh Kumar said that the Dey brothers were charged with murder and attempted murder. Prasun Dey (43), the youngest son of the Dey family from Tangra, whose three female members were found dead on the morning of Feb 19, was arrested on March 3 after he was declared fit for release from the Orthopaedic ward of the NRS hospital. The elder brother, Pranay Dey, was arrested on May 18 after he was released from NRS Medical College Hospital for allegedly conspiring and helping his brother directly in the act. Pranay (45), was undergoing treatment for nearly three months at the state-run healthcare facility since he was shifted from Ruby General Hospital. The 14-year-old son of Pranay, the lone survivor, presently staying at a shelter home but likely to move in with his relatives soon, will play a crucial part in the case. His statement before cops on how he was attacked by his uncle Prasun will be the highlight of the charge sheet. Section 103(1) prescribes punishment for murder, stating that the guilty person may face the death penalty or life imprisonment. Additionally, the charge sheet mentions Section 109(1), which states that if someone attempts murder and it results in death, the offender could face up to 10 years in prison or life imprisonment. The charge sheet also references Sections 3 and 5 of the Indian Penal Code.

Chargesheet filed in Tangra triple murder case, minor son ‘provided key testimony'
The Kolkata Police have filed a chargesheet against two brothers, Prasun Dey and Pranay Dey, in connection with the February triple murder of three female members of their family. According to sources, police are relying heavily on the testimony of Pranay's minor son, who was in the car when the brothers allegedly crashed into a pillar near Abhishikta More on Kolkata's EM Bypass on February 19. The chargesheet, submitted Thursday, invokes sections 103(1) (murder) and 109(1) (attempt to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and comes months after a car crash culminated in the discovery of three bodies in a multi-storeyed apartment building. According to police sources, the chargesheet shows that investigators have relied heavily on the testimony of Pranay's minor son – while still undergoing treatment at a local hospital, the boy allegedly gave a detailed statement about an 'attempted strangulation and a wrist injury', which the police are using as a key piece of evidence, officials said. After the car crash on February 19, Pranay allegedly made a startling confession: that the brothers had intentionally crashed the car and that three others – his wife Romi Dey, Prasun's wife Sudeshna and his minor daughter – had died by suicide at their home in Tangra. While an FIR initially booked some unidentified individuals for murder. However, investigation allegedly revealed that the brothers had killed the others before attempting suicide, with the police linking the entire episode to some financial losses the family suffered in their leather business.

Tangra murders: Elder brother held
1 2 Kolkata: Pranay Dey (44), the elder of the two brothers residing at Atul Sur Road in Tangra, was arrested from NRS Hospital on Saturday and produced in court. Pranay was arrested from the NRS Hospital, where he was undergoing medical treatment for a long time following the accident that took place on EM Bypass on Feb 19, hours after the murder of his wife, sister-in-law, and niece at his Tangra home. "He was arrested after necessary medical clearance was declared by the doctors treating him," said Rupesh Kumar, Joint CP (Crime and Traffic). Pranay and Prasun, claim the police, murdered the three women of their family and then tried to kill themselves – along with Pranay's son – by crashing their car into a metro pillar on EM Bypass. The arrest came days after his 14-year-old minor son, the youngest survivor of Feb's tragic Tangra family murders, was set to begin classes at a new school after the summer break. Earlier, on March 3, 43-year-old Prasun Dey , the younger brother of Pranay, was arrested on the same murder charges. "Pranay, just like Prasun, was charged under sections 103(1) and 109(1) of the BNS Act. Soon after his arrest, following his statement and being led by him, a search and seizure were conducted at his residence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo This was similar to the procedure we followed when we arrested Prasun, this being Pranay's first visit home since the incident. Pranay was produced before the court of ACJM, Sealdah, and was remanded to jail custody till May 30 with a direction to the superintendent of Presidency Correctional Home for his further medical assistance as and when required," said Joint CP Kumar. Sources said they have now completed the reconstruction of the crime after taking both Pranay and Prasun along with them to the Tangra house. "We will finish his part first and then tally the same with his elder brother," said a source, adding that a "chargesheet will be placed anytime now." The police said that besides reconstructing the crime, they are also seeking answers about the death of Prasun's daughter. "There is still no clarity on who and how Prasun's daughter Priyamvada died. While poisoning has emerged as the main reason, she also carries multiple wounds. We will question Prasun intensively on this aspect since his elder brother Pranoy has been repeatedly avoiding this question," said an investigating officer. "No family member has contacted us ever since the family members were transferred to NRS from a private hospital on EM Bypass last month. There was also no one to sign the discharge certificate of Prasun even on Saturday," the officer added.
