Bengal: Police reconstruct Garia murder scene to establish sequence of events

Kolkata, Nov 10 (UNI) Police on Tuesday reconstructed the sequence of events leading to the murder of software engineer Sarthak Sarkar at a rented flat in Phartabad, Garia, as part of their investigation into the case.
A team of police personnel, accompanied by the deceased's girlfriend, Sanchalika Basu, and her mother, Moumita Basu, visited the flat to establish what had transpired on the night of the incident. Meanwhile, forensic officials collected circumstantial evidence from the spot.
Investigators are trying to ascertain what happened inside the flat last Saturday night and the circumstances that led to Sarkar's death.
Sarkar and Basu had been living together in the rented accommodation. His blood-soaked body was found inside the flat on Sunday. According to sources, he had sustained injuries from a sharp weapon, including a wound to his shoulder.
Police have arrested Basu and her mother in connection with the incident.
Local residents said an altercation had taken place between the couple that night. Neighbours reportedly rushed to the flat after hearing a commotion and found Sarkar lying in a pool of blood.
Sarkar, a software engineer from Barasat in North 24 Parganas district, worked at a firm in Sector V, Salt Lake. Basu, who lives in Phartabad, was a student at Techno India.
Sources said the two had met through their common social circles and subsequently entered into a relationship, which was known to both families.
Sarkar had rented the flat, where he stayed with Basu for around three to four days a week. He was therefore familiar to several neighbours, who were also aware of their relationship.
Investigators are now cross-checking information gathered during the interrogation of the two arrested women with the findings of the crime-scene reconstruction. The exercise was aimed at establishing how Sarkar was attacked with a sharp weapon and what role, if any, Basu's mother played in the incident.
