In an uncanny and bizarre reprisal or reenactment of Kolkata's infamous and scandalous Robinson Street incident in which a 45 year old man was found cohabiting in a sprawling residence with the skeletal remains of his long deceased sister and two pet dogs in June 2015; here comes the news of two middle aged or then should I say elderly gents merrily coexisting with the skeleton of their dearest mother who breathed her last some nine or so months back..........
Local police sleuths who stormed into the somewhat desolate and largely isolated residential site on a fateful and Sunday evening after being apprised of the fellow residents suspicions about the mysteriously missing mater of 65 year old Arun Saha and his younger sibling 55 year old Ajit Saha were rather taken aback and shocked out of their collective wits when they discovered the skeletal remains of the 85 year old woman in question and her two sons living in unfathomable squalor; waste; filth and abject poverty........
On being queried/interrogated by a senior inspector at length; the brothers took turns to narrate the rather bizarre and macabre saga of their beloved 85 year old mother breathing her last on a particularly bone chilling January 15 2016 late night and they in their collective wisdom decided to hang on to her mortal remains as it was a little too cold for comfort to venture outside the seemingly warm and salubrious confines of their ancestral home.........
They then duly proceeded to apprise the disbelieving and incredulous police team about the fact that they ultimately arrived at a consensus to perform their mother's last rites in the month of April 2016 when a typically scorching Kolkata summer had set in but were dissuaded by the emaciated and largely reduced mass of skins and bones which had been feasted upon by maggots and the likes who had made their home and hearth in every crevice and orifice of the corpse........
Fellow residents of the area in question grew suspicious and wary when every query pertaining to the much admired and respected Nani Bala Saha a lifelong resident of Nadia district's Simhat locality was met with a rather curt response and infuriating rebuke that rose their hackles every single time........
Matters came to a head on the afore mentioned Sunday late afternoon when concerned residents decided to take matters into their own hands and unceremoniously stormed (along with the local police team in tow) into the largely neglected and uncared for house which was located a considerable distance away from the main road only to be confronted with a horrendous site which will give them nightmares and horrors for as long as they live........
As for the two siblings who were unemployed for the last two decades and more and led a rather measly hand to mouth existence they have been admitted to a state run mental health institution where a team of doctors are carrying out a series of tests in order to determine their mental capacities and sanity........
