Kolkata Brothers Accused of Triple Murder After Failed Suicide Attempt

Police allege financial struggles and a lavish lifestyle led two brothers to kill their wives and a teenage daughter before a botched suicide attempt.

On February 19, three members of the Dey family—a minor girl and two women—were found dead in their Kolkata home with evidence pointing to murder.
The accused, brothers Prasun and Pranay Dey, allegedly killed their wives and Prasun's 14-year-old daughter after a failed attempt at a group suicide.
The family had accumulated significant debts while continuing to live extravagantly, which investigators believe contributed to the tragic events.
The teenage girl reportedly resisted consuming food laced with sleeping pills, leading to her being beaten, force-fed, and ultimately poisoned.
Police discovered that the home's CCTV systems were switched off on the day of the murders, raising further suspicion of premeditation.
