Murder in the Name of Suicide

The accused, Shubho Chandra Nath (19), hit his father Makhan Chandra Nath (54) on the head with the handle of a spade, causing his death on the spot.
The incident took place at their home in Gorjon Toli area during a quarrel on the night of July 13.
The Cover-Up: Suicide Drama
After killing his father, Shubho tried to hide the crime by tying a rope around the victim’s neck and hanging the body from a bamboo beam to make it appear as a suicide.
“সাধারণ ডিম বিক্রি করে আমরা কীভাবে ১৫ লক্ষ কাস্টমার এনেছি—এই বইয়ে আছে তার বাস্তব কাহিনি!”
He also threatened his mother to remain silent and forced her to file a false unnatural death (UD) case at the police station the next day.
Police said,
“ঘটনা ধামাচাপা দিতে সে গলায় রশি বেঁধে বাবার মরদেহ বাঁশের আড়ার সাথে ঝুলিয়ে রেখে আত্মহত্যা বলে প্রচার করে।”
