The building on Panchanantala Lane, Behala, where Mukherjee diedKOLKATA: A 58-year-old St James’ School teacher was found dead at her home on Panchanantala Lane in Behala on Thursday. Locals said the deceased, Haimanti Mukherjee, a geography teacher, had been living alone for the last three months on the first floor of a three-storied building.
Her mother Anila Mukherjee (85) was admitted to a hospital due to old-age-related ailments.
Police said, no injury marks or suicide note was found. Officers of Parnasree police station started an unnatural death case and sent her body for postmortem.
Mukherjee’s neighbour Soma Chatterjee and her husband Subhasis were the first ones to raise an alarm after she failed to respond to repeated knocks till late in the afternoon.
Cops forced open the door and found her lying on the bed. A bottle of medicine which was prescribed to her for some heart-related ailment was found by her bed. She was taken to Vidyasagar Hospital, where she was declared dead.
Another neighbour Shibnath Banerjee claimed that the Mukherjees were “conservative”. “They hardly interacted with us. But it seems that the family was under financial stress as many banks used to send their representatives from time to time to recover loans taken by the family. We also heard that the house was mortgaged,” Banerjee said.
