The serene morning in Kolkata’s New Garia Society was shattered when residents discovered a horrifying scene a 79-year-old woman found brutally murdered in her own home, her hands and feet bound. The scene of her 83 -year -old husband, who was found to be tied in the bedroom's bedroom, was equally frightening, but looked clearly traumatized. Officials believe that intruders had neutralized the security system of the house, including CCTV cameras and doorbells cutting, so that no evidence of their infiltration could be recorded.

Neighbours once familiar with warm greetings and routine now speak in hushed tones, unnerved by the suddenness of the crime. The loss of jewellery suggests robbery as a possible motive, yet the brutality and targeting of elderly residents has stirred deep concern in the community. Kolkata’s New Garia, often viewed as peaceful and secure, now grapples with fear and sorrow.

Police have launched a full investigation calling on forensic teams to collect evidence, review nearby recordings (if any survived), and conduct interviews with both neighbours and family members. Local authorities are urging anyone with possible information maybe odd movements or unusual visitors last week to come forward.

The city is eagerly waiting for the answers as the couple remained mournful and physically helpless at the scene. It is expected that justice will be found soon, so that the hurt family will be able to get assurances again to the community that has been shaken by this fruitless violence.
