In a rerun of the 2015 Robinson Street skeleton case in Kolkata, a woman and her daughter were found living with the decomposed corpse of her 78-year-old husband in the northern part of the city, police said on Wednesday. The incident came to light after stench began emanating from their house in Bagbazar area. After their neighbours alerted the police, the law enforcers conducted a check late on Tuesday night, only to find the two women living with the decomposed corpse of 78-year-old Digvijay Ghosh, an officer of Shyampukur police station said. "The man must have died at least a month-and-half ago. The body has been fully decomposed, exposing the skeleton," he said, adding that Ghosh was ill. "The cause of the death is not yet clear. We have sent the body for post-mortem examination. We are questioning the wife and daughter," the officer said, adding they are also trying to ascertain whether the two women were depressed.
