Semi-decomposed body of actress found

A semi-decomposed body of a small-time local actress of the Bengali entertainment industry was today recovered from her flat in the southern part of the city’s Kasba area, police said. Bitasta Saha’s semi-decomposed body was found hanging from the ceiling of her flat in Kasba area, they said. After repeated phone calls went unanswered for almost two days, her mother visited the flat today where she used to stay alone. When Bitasta did not open the door after several knocks, her mother and neighbours informed police. Police broke the door and found the actress’s body hanging from the ceiling, a police officer said. It was learnt that one of Bitasta’s wrist was slit and there were several injury marks on her body too. “Going by the preliminary signs it seems that she committed suicide. However, we are waiting for the postmortem report. The body appeared to be two day-old and there was a bit of stench in the room,” he said.
