What began as an ordinary afternoon outing to celebrate Durga Puja ended in tragedy for a family in the city. Vikash Bhattacharya, 64, left his home with plans to visit the festival pandals and offer prayers to Goddess Durga before returning home for the evening.
However, when family members received an unexpected call about his ill health, they rushed to the hospital. Upon arrival, they found his body wrapped in a white sheet.
The incident at a pandal in the Chorabagan area has left questions about what transpired during the festive celebrations. While the city was alive with the festive spirit of welcoming Goddess Durga, the tragedy served as a stark reminder of the fragility of life during celebrations.
The death has devastated not just Bhattacharya's family, but several other households connected to the incident. Authorities are yet to provide details about the circumstances surrounding his death and whether medical intervention could have altered the outcome.
