Rajganj, Jun 25 (Siliguri Journal) – A young man’s body was found hanging in a house in Krishnanagar Colony, near the Eastern Bypass in Siliguri, causing an uproar in the area. The incident happened around 8 p.m. on Monday. The victim, identified as 32-year-old Ujjwal Das, was discovered under suspicious circumstances. His family has filed a murder case.
According to family sources, Ujjwal Das lived with his wife and children in Krishnanagar Colony, while other relatives lived in separate houses nearby.
