The Case: Abduction, murder, and Conflicting Accounts
Two individuals were arrested on Saturday, November 2, 2025, by the Bidhannagar police commissionerate in connection with the abduction and murder of Kamilya, a jewellery shop owner whose body was discovered in the New Town area near Kolkata on October 29, 2025. The case is complex by conflicting statements and alleged fabrications,raising questions about the motives and circumstances surrounding Kamilya’s death.
Initial Reports and Allegations
According to initial reports, Kamilya was abducted on October 28, 2025, from Salt Lake with the assistance of several associates. A letter associated with the alleged crime indicated the use of two cars equipped with blue beacons, typically reserved for official vehicles. This detail immediately raised suspicions of potential involvement by individuals with access to such vehicles.
Gobinda Bag, the owner of the shop Kamilya rented in Salt Lake, corroborated the abduction claim, stating he was also taken but later released. Bag alleges that a man named Burman accused Kamilya of stealing jewellery from his home in the Salt Lake – New Town area.
Burman’s Contradictory Statements
However, Burman vehemently denied these accusations during a press conference in Jalpaiguri on Friday, November 1, 2025, claiming the charges were fabricated. He asserted that he does not own property in the Salt Lake-New Town area and that no gold was stolen from his residence. Moreover, Burman stated he did not travel to Kolkata on October 28, 2025, directly contradicting the timeline suggested by Bag’s account.
Following Saturday’s arrests, Burman became unavailable to the media. His residence in Matigara, siliguri, was found locked, further fueling speculation and hindering investigators’ attempts to clarify his statements.
Reconciling the Contradictions
The discrepancies between Bag’s testimony and Burman’s denials present a significant challenge to the investigation. The alleged use of vehicles with blue beacons suggests potential involvement of individuals in positions of authority or with connections to law enforcement. Burman’s subsequent disappearance and locked residence raise further questions about his potential involvement and motives.
The police are likely focusing on verifying Burman’s alibi for October 28, 2025, and investigating the origin and legitimacy of the letter mentioning the cars with blue beacons. Tracing the ownership and usage of these vehicles could provide crucial leads in identifying other potential suspects.
