2019 का सातवाँ केस
Case 7/2019
(Traceless, Ep. 76-77)
Archana Palangdar, 35, was living in Kolkata's Jawaharlal Dutta Road,
Uludanga, who had 2 children. Her son was in class 8 while daughter was studying
in class 3. Archana's husband Pintu used to work in a car servicing company in
Kalikapur.
On 21 September 2018, the police found Archana's body wrapped in a blanket
inside a sack of jute in a drain in Anandpur which was identified 4 days later.
Archana came out of her house a day ago saying that she is going to for her
mobile repair but after leaving from there she did not return. Husband
Pintu said that he was not at home when she came out of her house.
Archana was identified by her family members after seeing her photo in the
newspaper. It was revealed in the postmortem report that she was strangulated to
death.
Archana's mother-in-law said that when she saw her photo in the newspaper, she
reached the police station. She came out that day saying that she was going to
get her mobile repair, but when she did not return, she wrote her missing
complaint at the police station, but could not find anything.
One of her neighbors said that she saw Archana shopping in the market on the
same day and she looked absolutely normal and looking at her, there was nothing
that any such incident was going to happen to her on the same day.
Archana's son said that she often used to talk to a man on the phone at night.
The police had said that they are also filtering the details of Archana's call
and may have got a clue from that. The police got the names of 2 people from the
phone records, one of whom had befriended her Facebook and the other was her old
friend. On the basis of primary investigation, the police believed that Archana
had an affair with both of them and it was due to this affair that she would
have been murdered.
The police also came to know that Archana had also filed a case of domestic
violence against her husband Pintu and the rest of the family 3 years ago, which
was later withdrawn. Pintu said that Archana must be provoked by someone, after
which she took this step because gradually she herself understood that this was
wrong and she herself had withdrawn her complaint. The police had said that
Archana was in very close contact with some person for some time, but who was
this person was not able to find out and it may be that this unknown person is
the link in this case. Because of this, the relationship between husband and
wife was very bad and due to this, the suspicion of police was also on Pintu.
