Murdered, Chopped into pieces, Stuffed in a bag, Dumped in a river – And the end of an affair

“Wasted Days and Wasted Nights, it’s about days very wrongly invested in a love affair.” – Freddy Fender.

Yes, that “oh my god” feeling again appears in our mind when suddenly we come to know about such ruthless face of our society which is still prevailing in India. Recently, the latest case has been the one in West Bengal that involves a Bank Manager who mercilessly murdered his 34-year-old lover and her five-year-old daughter. Here is what we come to know about the whole murder incident-

The main accused – Samaresh Sarkar, Manager of Central Bank of India (Durgapur Branch) caught red handed, dumping two bags allegedly containing body parts of that woman and her daughter into the Ganga after brutally chopping their bodies into pieces. Samaresh was a married man having two daughters was reportedly exposed to be in an extramarital relationship with the victim – Sucheta Chakroborty, who had already separated from her husband.

However Samaresh refused the allegations indicated towards him at first, but after confessing about his crime he stated that Sucheta had threatened him that she might expose their illicit relationship and can even approach to police if he refuses to marry her. Being frustrated and seeing no other options left with him, he was forced to take this step. Though he initially denied the fact that he killed the duo, he cleared that Sucheta had killed her daughter, then slit her own throat in order to commit suicide, hence to get rid of the bodies and the fear that he will be dragged into the case, he decided to chop the bodies and throw into a river.

Throughout the whole incident, if we focus on one thing, we can see the main sufferer is the five-year-old child named Dipanjana who was also viciously killed whether by her mother or by the man. As per the source, as Samaresh stated, Dipanjana was drowned in a cistern before her mother killed herself. How can a mother go to such extent where she had to take away the life of her own daughter  in order to pursue with the threatening? Now the question arises, ‘What was her fault?’ and “How could a mother take such homicidal  step? Just to sway someone for marriage? Or just that her daughter is a material to be used for blackmailing prospect? Or that if the person sees her impeccable face, he will deliquesce easily and will be ready to marry her?  Between the love wars of the duo, the little child was killed as she became a medium of threat to her mother. People are trying to point out the mistakes done by both Samaresh and Sucheta, but who cares about that little girl?

Today, if we look around in our society, we can see a lot of couples like this. As in this case, Samaresh was already married and had two children. But in the last few days, his wife also suspected him, yet every time he evaded her questions. Even after being in an efficacious married life, he was concerned about flourishing his affair in a confining way. On the other part, Sucheta’s husband revealed that she left her family because of her immense desire for leading a luxurious life. “Since the bank manager earns a big salary, she thought she could live a good life if she could get him to marry her,” said an investigating officer on the spot. Just for money? Yes, just for the sake of money it was very easy for Sucheta to kill that small child. Going profoundly through the incident, the investigation squad came upon many such spectator, some of them divulged like-

-“Given the size of the weapons, it is improbable he used them,” said the police.

-“Sarkar somehow managed to persuade her to return to Durgapur. The accused was under immense pressure from the woman to marry her. She also threatened to approach the police if he refused to marry her. Sarkar apparently couldn’t risk the matter becoming public and decided to kill her,” the officer added.

On investigating further, the squad was surprised at the absence of “any visible mark” of murder in the house.

-“The way he had cut up the woman’s body, it would have caused a lot of blood loss. But there was no blood stain in the house. It seems he had cleaned it before leaving the house,” they informed, (Source – The Telegraph). Neighbors also included that Sucheta lived at her father’s home since her parents’ death.

One heading with the idea of having a lavish life, and another with the motive to be in an illicit relation came to a conflict and ultimately couldn’t produce any conducive result but taking away the life of an innocent child. People around them were enraged with their motives and fascinations and came upon such speculations-

Her uncle Prabhat Pathak said, “How can a sane person kill a child and chop her into pieces. He should be hanged.”

-“He avoided men, but he was close to female colleagues. He was often seen chatting with them for long. Sarkar would also pay more attention to women customers,” a colleague told TOI.

His landlady told reporters that he was a generous man who never created any problem and the local municipality chairman said that he knew Sarkar to be a ‘timid’ man and never imagined he could murder anyone.

We are unable to find any such conclusion regarding this case; one cannot stop such mentality imbibed within these kinds of human beings. The society needs to put forward the idea of creating awareness among the people that taking away lives, threatening someone for any forceful act, inducing someone for taking fallacious steps is not going to help achieve that destination. One thing people need to be aware of that, this will result nowhere except solitary. As in this case, police charged Samaresh with sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Indian Penal Code.
