Kolkata, Aug 26 The police have recovered three bodies from different locations in the Anandapur area on the southern outskirts of Kolkata in the last 24 hours.
The police said on Tuesday that a bar dancer was found unconscious in a hotel. When she was taken to the hospital, the doctor declared her dead. Police suspect drug overdose as the cause of the death.
The body has been sent for an autopsy. Police sources said the woman hailed from Ludhiana in Punjab and was working as a dancer in one of the bars in the EM bypass area. She had checked into the hotel with her partner on Monday, who took her to the hospital.
In the second incident, the body of a man in his fifties was found hanging from a tree at a picnic spot near the Eastern Metropolitan
In another incident, the body of a woman was found in a house in the Nonadanga area in Anandapur. The police suspect that it may be a case of suicide.
The discovery of the bodies in Anandapur has raised concerns over the safety and security in the area, as last week the bodies of a girl and a boy were fished out of the Nonadanga canal in the same area.
In the same area, last month, Tauseef, the prime accused, and three others were arrested from a three-storey guest house in a joint operation by Bihar Police and West Bengal STF, in connection with the murder of Patna gangster Chandan Mishra.
The Kolkata Police also registered a suo motu case against the owner of the Anandapur guest house for granting guests accommodation without any valid identity cards.
"Several incidents are taking place in this area. We have increased our surveillance. We have also directed hotels and guesthouses in the area to share information regarding their guests with valid photo identity cards with the police," said a senior police officer of Kolkata Police.
