Life Sentence for 2021 Chinsurah Murder

A court delivered a life sentence on Tuesday to two individuals convicted in a 2021 murder case. Anupam Das and Arun Paswan were found guilty of killing Tapan Mallick in July of that year. The motive was allegedly revealed when Mallick identified the convicts to a man whose goat they had stolen.

Following an initial assault on Mallick, which was interrupted by locals, the convicts are reported to have later abducted him from his home. Mallick's body was discovered the subsequent morning in the Nandir Math area. While four names were initially filed in a complaint, two were acquitted, leaving Das and Paswan to face sentencing and a fine of Rs 20,000 each.
