How did they know each other?

According to family sources, Runu Mondal got married about 14 years ago and moved to Bongaon. During her visits to her parents' home, she reconnected with Debashish Mondal, whom she knew from before. Some family members claim that this acquaintance soon turned into a close bond, and they eventually started a romantic relationship.

Running away from home

This alleged affair was causing a lot of tension in both families. The families claim that about a month ago, Debashish and Runu ran away from home. Despite searching for them, neither family could find them. Debashish's family also claims that he had called his father a few days ago, saying he was in great distress and wanted to return home. Things reportedly took a horrifying turn on Friday night.

What happened on Friday night?

The deceased man's family alleges that late on Friday night, Runu Mondal called Debashish's father and told him that she had killed Debashish and was going to die by suicide herself. However, the police have not yet officially confirmed this claim.

On Saturday morning, Runu Mondal's body was recovered from the railway line in the Anantapur area, near Basirhat station. Meanwhile, Debashish Mondal's body was found in a rented house near Maylakola in Basirhat. Acting on a tip-off from locals, the police reached the spot, broke down the locked door, and recovered the man's body.

Two bodies recovered

Both bodies have been sent for post-mortem. Investigators are trying to determine if this is a case of murder and suicide, or if there is another angle to it. So far, Runu Mondal's family has not given any statement.

However, Debashish's family is firm in their allegation that Runu first murdered Debashish and then jumped in front of a train. The police are now investigating to find out the real cause, the time of death, and the sequence of events that led to this tragic end. The post-mortem and forensic reports are expected to provide a clearer picture.
