Race Course Suicide: Body of young man found hanging, Police investigate

The discovery of a young man’s body hanging from a tin shed in Kolkata's Race Course early Saturday morning at 7am has sparked tension in the locality. The deceased has been identified as Shamshad, who was employed as a temporary worker in the area.

The body was found hanging with what appeared to be a towel, prompting the police to suspect suicide. However, they have not ruled out the possibility of foul play.

According to eyewitness accounts, locals passing through the area in the early hours noticed the body and immediately alerted the police. Law enforcement officials quickly arrived at the scene, took the body into custody, and sent it for a post-mortem examination.

While the initial investigation suggests suicide, several unanswered questions have emerged. Locals have questioned how such an act could take place in a relatively open and public area without anyone noticing. This has led to speculation that the young man may have been murdered and his body subsequently hung to make it appear as suicide.

The police have launched a detailed investigation into the matter. CCTV footage from the surrounding area is being examined to detect any suspicious activity during the time of the incident.
