Family suspects foul play after Trinamool MLA's son's death

The family of Debashis Das, son of Trinamool Congress MLA Kasturi Das, Monday alleged foul play after the former was found dead a day before near railway tracks in Bihar.

The body of Debashis Das, also brother-in-law of Kolkata Mayor Sovan Chatterjee, was found lying at the railway tracks near Barsoi railway station in Bihar. He was cremated Monday at a city crematorium.

"Police said he (Debashis Das) died after failing from a train. We don't know if somebody threw him out of the train. Being a winter night, there was no reason for him to stand on the train door," Debashis Das's uncle Bablu Das said.

"Police claimed that he died due to injuries sustained after failing from the train, but his injuries are not as grave as one may sustain after falling from a train. We are not sure but something is amiss," Bablu Das said.
