Khaberni - In West Bengal, India, a horrifying crime occurred where a 35-year-old man was stabbed to death by his neighbors following a dispute over shutting off loud music during the "Kali Puja Night" festival celebrations.
According to Indian media reports citing local police in South 24 Parganas district, the victim was named Sanatan Naskar and worked as an office peon at a private company. He had turned off the sound system at one of the festival tents after an elderly neighbor, who suffered from heart problems, asked him to reduce the noise. After stopping the music, he returned home.
However, the neighbors Binto Saha and his wife, who were also part of the festival celebrations, followed him to his home and confronted him for cutting off the music. The verbal dispute quickly escalated into a physical fight, during which the wife attacked the victim’s mother as she tried to defend her son.
When Naskar intervened to protect his mother, Binto stabbed him several times in the chest and hand with a sharp weapon before he and his wife fled the scene with the help of another man and woman, as reported by witnesses from the neighborhood.
The locals quickly transported the victim to a nearby hospital, but he was declared dead upon arrival, having succumbed to his serious injuries. According to the police statement, the couple was arrested while trying to escape after the local residents caught them and handed them over to the police station, while two other individuals believed to be with them during the incident are still being pursued.
A senior police officer confirmed that the forensic team collected samples from the crime scene and that investigations are ongoing to uncover the details and motives of the incident.
