A disturbing incident has unfolded in the Baguihati area of North Kolkata, where a son allegedly strangled his mother to death with a scarf due to her remarriage. According to the police, the son, Rudradeep, had been struggling to come to terms with his mother’s decision to remarry, and the situation escalated into a heated argument, ultimately leading to the tragic event.
The police reported that Rudradeep’s mother, Ruma Chakraborty, had married Ranjit Chakraborty about six months ago, and the couple had been residing in a rented ground-floor flat. On the day of the incident, Rudradeep arrived at the flat and engaged in a fierce argument with his mother regarding her marital relationships. The argument turned physical, and in a fit of rage, Rudradeep allegedly strangled his mother using a scarf.
Investigation Underway
The police have launched an investigation into the matter and are currently searching for Rudradeep, who fled the scene after committing the crime. The police also discovered that Rudradeep had stolen his mother’s gold jewelry before locking the door and escaping. The body of Ruma Chakraborty was sent for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
According to the Kolkata Police, they are probing whether a dispute over money had erupted between the mother and son, which may have contributed to the motive behind the crime. The police have also learned that Rudradeep was an alleged drug addict, which may have played a role in his actions.
Possible Motives

- Dispute over money
- Opposition to the mother’s remarriage
- Drug addiction and its effects on the son’s behavior
