According to Dr Biswas, all four victims died from asphyxiation due to strangulation. However, he clarified that the autopsy revealed no evidence of broken jaws, directly contradicting earlier police assertions. Addressing widespread rumours that acid had been used to disfigure the bodies, the physician dismissed the claims, explaining that the facial discolouration was simply the result of natural decomposition after the bodies lay undiscovered for several days. Various biological samples have been collected during the post-mortem examinations and dispatched to a CID laboratory for further forensic analysis.

The clarification by the forensic team stands in sharp contrast to a press briefing held a day prior by Rangpur Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mohammad Abdul Mabud. During that conference, the commissioner stated that twenty-five-year-old victim Agami Chakraborty had a rope wound tightly around her neck and face with such force that her eyes protruded from their sockets and her jawbone fractured. This variance between police accounts and medical findings has intensified public curiosity and scrutiny surrounding the investigation.

The horrific incident came to light on Saturday evening when relatives, unable to elicit any response from the residence located in Rangpur’s Masuapara area, alerted local law enforcement. At approximately 10:30 PM, police forced open the locked doors to discover a grim scene. The body of sixty-five-year-old retired Rangpur Zilla School teacher Ganapati Chakraborty was found in the rooftop annex, while the bodies of his fifty-two-year-old wife, Pritilata Chakraborty, and their daughter, Agami Chakraborty, were located on the stairwell. The youngest victim, twelve-year-old Priyam Chakraborty—a fifth-grade student at the same school—was found dead in a second-floor bedroom. The sheer brutality of the crime sent shockwaves rippling across Rangpur and the wider nation.

Law enforcement officials have already apprehended two primary suspects in connection with the murders. The suspects, who are maternal cousins, have been identified as twenty-three-year-old Mugdha Das—a fish vendor at the City Market—and nineteen-year-old Siddhartha Das, a jewellery artisan, both residents of the Masuapara neighbourhood. Investigators and local sources indicate that the murders stemmed from a confrontation where the victims opposed the perpetrators’ drug habits. As forensic teams await the final laboratory results from the CID, police continue to piece together the exact sequence of events that led to the tragedy.
