Police recovered the body of twenty-six-year-old Anjali Sau from a locked fifth-floor flat in Baranagar on Tuesday night.
Investigators suspect murder after finding injury marks on Sau’s body inside the Lake Palli apartment.
Baranagar police officers broke open the flat door after neighbours reported no response to their repeated knocking.
Sau had collected the apartment keys from a neighbour on Tuesday afternoon after her sister called to check on her.
Her sister alerted neighbours when Sau failed to answer multiple phone calls throughout the afternoon hours.
Sau’s sister and brother-in-law owned the flat but recently relocated their residence to Serampore for business.
The brother-in-law had handed the property keys to the neighbour on Monday before leaving the locality.
Rescuers initially moved Sau to Baranagar State General Hospital before sending her body for an official post-mortem examination.
Forensic experts now await the detailed post-mortem report to establish the precise cause of Sau’s death.
Investigators are currently scanning surrounding CCTV footage and interrogating local residents to trace the full sequence of events.
The unexpected discovery of Sau’s body has sparked widespread concern among residents across the Lake Palli neighborhood.
