Post-mortem of Bengali TV actress Pallavi Dey hints at suicide

A preliminary post-mortem report has suggested that television actress Pallavi Dey, who was found dead in her South Kolkata residence, had committed suicide.
Dey’s body was found hanging on Sunday morning.
However, on the basis of specific allegations by the parents of the deceased, police are probing the “abatement to suicide” angle. Under scanner is Pallavi Dey’s friend Shagnik Chakaborty, who used to stay with her at the same residence in South Kolkata.
Under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), if any person commits suicide, whoever abets the commission of such act, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.
Pallabi’s parents stated to the police that Shagnik Chakraborty entered into a live-in relationship with their daughter supressing the fact that he was married. However, according to them, when Pallavi came to know of his marriage six months ago, Shagnik told her that a divorce- case was in the process and he was in separation with his wife.
The parents have also alleged that Shagnaik was totally dependent on Pallavi financially and they together purchased luxurious accommodation at New Town and a vehicle for themselves. According to Pallavi’s parents their daughter was doing well in Bengali television, earning well and receiving new offers and, hence there was no reason for her to commit suicide.
It is learnt that the probe officials have sought the call details and the details of bank accounts of Shagnik Chakraborty, especially of those accounts and fixed deposits that he used to keep jointly with the deceased actress. The police have already traced a bank fixed deposit of Rs 15 lakh which the two had held jointly.
In fact, on Sunday morning, it was Shagnik only who had discovered the body of Pallavi and he was the one who informed the police and the parents of the deceased actress.
However, he had admitted to the police that before he went out to purchase cigarettes on Sunday morning, he had a heated conversation with Pallavi and after coming back he discovered her dead body.

Mumbai: Nashik Farmer Duped Of ₹1.44 Crore To Kalyan Man Promising Liquor Shop Licence In Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai: A 29-year-old farmer from Nashik has allegedly been cheated of Rupees 1.44 crore by a man who promised to get him a liquor shop licence in Navi Mumbai, police said on Tuesday. The accused, hailing from Kalyan in Thane district, had convinced the victim that he could facilitate the transfer of a licence of a liquor shop at Panvel in Navi Mumbai from the owner in his name.
Trusting him, the victim, belonging to Niphad in neighbouring Nashik district, along with his brother, paid Rupees 1.44 crore to him in multiple installments between July 2024 and January this year, an official from MFC police station said.
After collecting the amount, the accused allegedly paid rupees 61 lakh to the liquor shop owner, misappropriated the remaining Rupees 83 lakh and failed to secure the licence for the victim, he said. When the victim questioned the accused about the status of the licence and the payments made, the latter issued some cheques as reimbursement. “All the cheques bounced, further raising suspicion,” As per media report, official state.
The accused neither returned the amount nor ensured the transfer of the licence in the victim’s name, he said. Based on the victim’s complaint, an FIR was registered against the accused on August 23 under section 318(4) (cheating) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the police said. A detailed probe was underway into the case, they added.
A 79-year-old Powai doctor lost nearly ₹25 lakh in a share trading scam, leading to arrests of two suspects, Prashant Chaudhary and Richard Rao, by the Mumbai Cyber Cell. The doctor, who heads a private company, received a WhatsApp message on July 17 promoting stock investments with a customer care number. After joining a group, he received stock tips and personal assurances from an admin, who created a fake trading ID and password for him.
Over a few weeks, he invested ₹25 lakh, encouraged by apparent profits. When he attempted to withdraw his money, his efforts failed, and the fraudsters claimed he needed to invest more to increase his “score.” After realizing he was scammed, the doctor reported the incident, leading to an investigation under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and IT Act. Investigators traced the funds to Chaudhary and Rao, who laundered money through multiple bank accounts. Police warn citizens to beware of online investment schemes promising guaranteed returns.
