KOLKATA, 17 MAY: Bengali television actor Pallavi Dey’s live-in partner Sagnik Chakroborty has been arrested by police on Tuesday in connection with the actor’s death. Pallavi Dey was found dead at her flat in the Garfa area of Kolkata on 15 May.
Although the post-mortem report hinted that the actress had committed suicide, her parents brought a number of allegations against her live-in partner, which included mental and physical cruelty and embezzlement of funds earned by their daughter.
It is learned that the police conducted a marathon interrogation of Chakraborty on Monday night and finally arrested him on Tuesday evening. It is learned that his arrest followed definite clues of his involvement in financial embezzlement.
In his police interrogation, Chakraborty admitted that he had a fixed deposit jointly with Pallabi amounting to Rs 15 lakh. He also purchased a luxurious apartment at Salt Lake at a cost of Rs 80 lakh and also a luxurious vehicle, much of which was funded by Pallabi from her income. Investigating officials feel that although Chakraborty was employed, his income was not enough to go for such purchases.
Chakraborty was married before. However, a divorce petition was filed and since then he started staying together with Pallabi.
The Bengali TV actress was known for playing the lead role in ‘Mon Mane Na’ as Gauri. She has also worked in several other shows, including Resham Japi, Saraswati Prem and Ami Sirajer Begum.
