Another model found dead in Kolkata, second incident in three days

Another model was found hanging from the ceiling of her room in her family residence in Kolkatas Patuli area on Friday, the second such incident in three days, police said.

Her mother claimed that the deceased, identified as Manjusha Niyogi, was suffering from acute depression after the death of her friend and colleague in the industry, Bidisha De Majumder, two days before.

De Majumder, a popular face in bridal make-up photo-shoots, was also found hanging inside her rented apartment in Dumdum area on Wednesday evening.

Niyogis body was sent to a hospital for post-mortem examination to ascertain the cause of death, a police officer said.

“My daughter was severely depressed following her friend Bidishas death and was constantly talking about her since then,” Niyogis mother said.

Popular television actor Pallabi Dey was also found hanging inside her rented apartment in Garfa area around a fortnight ago.
