Man’s body found wrapped in sack in Kolkata, tattoos help identify him

In the early hours of Saturday, the decomposing body of a young man was discovered wrapped in a sack and hidden under a pile of bricks in the Swamiji Nagar area of Kolkata’s New Town. The Eco Park police quickly identified the victim as Saurabh Biswas, a 24-year-old resident of Adarsh Palli. The man’s body displayed severe injuries on his face and other areas, while tattoos on his skin proved crucial in confirming his identity. According to police reports, Saurabh had consumed drugs with a friend prior to his untimely demise.

In an effort to find answers, the police detained four friends of Saurabh for questioning and ultimately arrested one of them, Biswajit Biswas. Initial investigations suggest that Saurabh had been deceased for two to three days before his body was found. However, the exact cause and time of death will only be determined after the postmortem examination. The police are also investigating the possibility of a financial dispute between Saurabh and his friends as a potential motive for his murder.

As detectives scour local CCTV footage to piece together the events leading up to the man’s death, they have discovered a chilling account of his final moments. Footage reveals an unidentified man carrying a sack-wrapped body on his shoulder, which he hurled behind a parked motorcycle before tossing a second sack over it and stacking loose bricks on top.

All of this occurred within a single minute, leaving the area in a state of shock. A local resident claims the body was dumped around 4:20 am, and the suspect remained at the scene for approximately a minute before disappearing into the night. Due to poor lighting in the area, the suspect’s face remained obscured on CCTV and by witnesses.
