BURDWAN: A 32-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday for killing his mother two years ago and burying her body in concrete inside their house at Hatudewan Pirtala in East Burdwan district.
Police said Sahidul, alias Nayan, was rounded up following a complaint lodged by his elder brother, Kismat Ali. “We have sought permission from the court to exhume the body of their mother, Sukurana Bibi,” an officer said, adding that a forensic team was also being pressed into service.
According to a preliminary probe, Sukurana Bibi stayed with her younger son Sahidul, but visited Kismat often. The elder son suspected something was wrong when she stopped visiting him and his brother evaded questions about her. Later, Kismat learnt from local villagers what Sahidul might have done and he informed police.
