Kolkata: One day after the police has claimed that
17-year-old Aabesh Dasgupta was not murdered and died because of accident, five
family members, including mother and grandmother of Aabesh met Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at her
residence.
“Going through the CCTV footage and examining the
circumstantial evidence, there appears no foul play or conspiracy involved. The
visceral examination reports are still awaited, but investigations so far
reveal the death to be accidental,” as Vishal Garg, Joint Commissioner (Crime)
of the Kolkata Police has said.
It was late on Thursday when the investigating officers of
Kolkata Police for the first time said that the initial investigation done by
the sleuths confirmed that the mysterious death of the teen is only an
accident. Reports are that police suspects that Dasgupta succumbed to his
injuries, caused by a broken bottle that went through his underarms, creating
life-taking scar.
Reports are that the police have gone through CCTV footage,
where Aabesh was seen carrying a liquor bottle and walking towards the
apartment’s playground. Investigating officers has said that he must have tried
to climb on the fence to reach the playground but fell down. However, the
footage does not show the latter part. The explanation has not satisfied the Dasgupta
family and they are infuriated that the police have ‘informed the media before
them’.
On July 24, Aabesh was found at the car parking area at 6
Sunny Park, a residential complex at Ballygunge, the southern fringe of the
city. He was later declared dead by the hospital authority. However, the
Dasgupta family alleged the death as a murder and denied the theory of accident
from the very first day. Aabesh’s mother Rimjhim Dasgupta also said that the
‘case was being influenced to protect the accused.’
Following the fateful death of the teenage boy, a Facebook
page, called justice for Aabesh was created. An online petition was also
started to ‘ensure a fair and transparent investigation’ of the death.
