Kolkata, March 4: The Kolkata Police arrested Prasun Dey, a key accused in the shocking Tangra triple murder case, following an intensive interrogation late Monday night, police officials confirmed.
Dey was arrested soon after his release from Kolkata’s Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, where he had been undergoing treatment under strict police supervision after an apparent suicide attempt alongside his elder brother, Pranay Dey.
Following discharge from the hospital on Monday evening, Prasun was taken directly to Tangra Police Station, close to his residence. Investigators noted significant discrepancies during questioning, leading to his arrest.
