According to the police, the body Srinjay Majumdar was found under mysterious circumstances, a police officer said.

Srinjay Majumdar was declared “brought dead” by doctors when taken to a nearby private hospital, an officer said. Srinjay was 26-year-old and Rinku Majumdar's son from her previous marriage.

“The cause of the death is not known. That will be ascertained only after the post-mortem examination. We are investigating the matter,” the police officer said in a statement.

According to the preliminary report of the post-mortem, there was no foul play but suggested that Srinjay died of a severe form of pancreatitis – ‘acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis’. His post-mortem was conducted at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Police said that preliminary investigation revealed that two of his Srinjay's colleagues visited him at the flat on Monday night.

"One of the two was his girlfriend, with whom he was scheduled to get married soon. At night, the deceased person also spoke to his mother and a relative with whom he was supposed to go to Durgapur this morning," he said.

Rinku Majumdar told reporters that her son was suffering from some neurological disease and was on medication for the last year and a half.

She also said that her son could be under "severe stress" after she got married and left the flat to start living with Ghosh at his home.

"I came to know that he was neither eating properly nor taking medicines. He never told me, but being a mother, I could feel that he was depressed," Rinku said.
