The bodies of an elderly and her two daughters were recovered at their residence in East Burdwan district on Thursday, police said.
The deceased trio has been identified as Mrinalini Chowdhury, 61, and her daughters Bandana Chowdhury, 40, and Sanghamitra Chowdhury, 32. The bodies have been sent for a post-mortem examination. Police suspects that this is a case of suicide.
Local police sources said that on Thursday morning, the family’s domestic aide Rupali Hazra arrived for her regular duty. But her desperate calls to the mother and daughters and severe banging of the door failed to evoke response. Then she informed the neighbours. The neighbours informed their near relatives and the local police station. After breaking open the door, the bodies of the three deceased were recovered on the floor of the dining hall. A bottle has been recovered from near their bodies and the police suspects that it contained poison by consuming which the mother and the two daughters committed suicide.
