Dead footballer’s family lodge complaint against seven

Kolkata: The family members of footballer, Snehashish Dasgupta, who was found dead on the train tracks during Durga Puja, have lodged a complaint against seven persons including a female Trinamul Congress councillor with the railway police alleging that he was murdered. The victim, who was a second year B.Com student, was the goal-keeper of the Kolkata Port Trust’s football team.

On Monday they lodged the complaint at the Sheoraphuli government railway police station accusing the Trinamul councillor of ward no 27 of the Shreerampore Municipality Mousumi Nag, her husband Mintu Nag and five others namely Rintu Saha, Rinku Saha, Pratap and Ranjan and another person. Snehashish's mother Rinku alleged, “My son cannot commit suicide. He was murdered.” On the night of September 29 the youngster went out for pandal hopping on Nabomi night. 

He, however, got involved in an altercation with Ms Nag’s brother who then called his elder sister and his brother-in-law to drag the footballer from his home. The youngster did not return home later that day. The next day Mr Snehashish’s body was found in two pieces beside the railway tracks. His cellphone is yet to be recovered.
