The brutal murder of Deb Kumar Mukherjee, noted scriptwriter related to the Bengali film
industry, at his own residence of Elliot Road within the Park Street police
station’s jurisdiction in the metropolis of Kolkata just a month back shocked not
only the neighborhood but the entire city also. The ghastly murder of a
well-known sexagenarian and even within almost half a kilometer of the police
station made many celebrities frown at the increasing rate of crimes against
elderly citizens in the metropolitan area. The situation worsened for the
police in particular; as a result, the concerned department was under a
pressure. Now, the same police force can have a sigh of relief; they have taken
the two murderers, Abdul Hassan
and Niaz Hassan, into
custody.
According to
press and media, the aged scriptwriter used to live in the apartment all alone
following the death of his wife Bidisha Mukherjee, an actress in Bengali
movies, about six months ago. The primary investigation, followed by post
mortem examination, revealed presence of a few injury marks, one on his right
eye while the other one on his throat. In accordance with his only son Rishi Mukherjee working as software
professional and staying in Delhi, Mr. Mukherjee used to lead a private life
and such factors prevented police from ruling out the possibility of murder. As
the inquiry went on, the investigating team realized that a few persons used to
be part of his private life and these included Niaz Hassan. Abdul Hassan, it has been
learnt, lives in Mumbai.
On the word of police, Niaz Hassan was almost a
regular visitor to Deb Kumar Mukherjee’s residence albeit how both of them got
acquainted is yet to be known. Both Niaz Hassan and Abdul
Hassan were seen on that very day and this tip helped police immensely. Niaz Hassan, as told by the police
investigation team, has always been ambitious and hence, he decided to open a
call center with Abdul
Hassan, his long-time friend. They were in need of money and hence, tried to have
Mr. Mukherjee’s help. Deb
Kumar Mukherjee, as believed by both, was affluent and had contacts with
business honchos; this would assist them in the long run. But their dream was
shattered with Deb Kumar Mukherjee’s refusal. Both of them decided to avenge
this denial by murdering him and plundering the entire house.
A detailed plan, to make the dream a reality, was hatched and
based on it, Niaz and Abdul entered the Mukherjee residence, murdered the old
man, despoiled his belongings and fled to Mumbai. Niaz Hassan was arrested once he returned to Kolkata
while Abdul Hassan was arrested from Mumbai. Police, at the moment, is
engaged to retrieve the amount of money looted from the residence. The
development has blown his relatives as well as neighbors out of the water and
certainly his acquaintances in the film industry too. Kolkata has finally
reached the culmination when elderly citizens are unsafe in their own
residences even. If experts (on condition of anonymity) are believed, the
rising spate of Muslim appeasement has spifflicated the society in Bengal on
the whole. Newer forms of crimes are
coming forth.
This menace is getting common
in other Indian metropolises as well. Decrepitude
in India meets assassins instead of Varanasi.
