In a tragic incident in central Kolkata, Debojit Jana, a homeless man, was arrested for allegedly murdering his 5-month-old daughter. The police were alerted by his wife, Kajol Jana, who claimed that her husband had beaten and throttled their child to death while they were at Brigade Parade Ground. After the incident, he reportedly disposed of the body in a dustbin along Jawaharlal Nehru Road. Police apprehended him after locals confronted him near a Shiv temple. Investigators have obtained CCTV footage showing Jana carrying a white plastic bag near the dustbin around 10:04 PM on May 3, which could serve as critical evidence. Although the body has not been recovered due to the garbage being cleared, police have identified the garbage collection vehicle involved. Hospital records confirm that Kajol had given birth to a girl at Matri Sadan Hospital in December of the previous year.
