Kolkata: The death of seventeen year old Aabesh Dasgupta at 6 Sunny Park on Saturday, a building in the upscale Ballygunge area of Kolkata sent shockwaves across the city.
The mother of the victim suspects foul play and police have started a murder case under section 302 of the IPC, based on the mother's complaint.
Police however are veering towards the theory that it was an accidental death.
"The Kolkata police are investigating the matter. They said it is not an accident. They have started a murder case under section 302 of the IPC," says victim's mother Rimjhim Dasgupta.
The victim Aabesh Dasgputa was a student of class 12 at The Cambridge School and had gone with his friends to surprise author Amit Chaudhuri's daughter on her birthday.
The victim did not know the girl directly and was introduced to her through a childhood friend, who was one of the two boys present when Aabesh starting bleeding at the basement.
Police are questioning all the sixteen friends who were at the premises on Saturday evening around 6pm when the incident occurred.
The youngsters were celebrating the girl's birthday and reportedly consumed alcohol. A broken liquor bottle was found along with blood stains from the spot.
What investigators have corroborated till now based on the statements of the youngsters is that Aabesh was carrying the liquor bottle under his left armpit and tripped on it. The glass pieces then pierced through his axillary artillery, which led to a cardiac arrest and multi organ failure.
A deep cut was found below his left arm pit and wounds on his hands and knees.
Author Amit Chaudhuri rushed to the spot downstairs after being informed by his help of the incident.
He took the victim to a hospital in Dhakuria area. One of the two boys who allegedly saw Aabesh bleeding fled the spot. The other helped the victim into the car and informed another friend who in turn called his mother.
Aabesh was declared brought dead at the hospital. He might have survived if his friends had helped him earlier instead of fleeing the spot.
Police are looking into all possible angles to understand the sequence of events that led to his death. A love triangle theory has also emerged, where the victim and his childhood friend had a brawl over a girl who was not present at the spot.
The Police however are not convinced about this angle.
The victim's father, an assistant to the iconic Satyajit Ray's son died four months ago. The mother after her son's death and alleges her son was murdered.
The family fears the truth will be suppressed as the youngsters present were from influential families.
Krishna Paul, Aabesh's grandmother, said, "We are convinced it is a murder case. We hope the other youngsters present will come forward and spell out the truth."
