Inside Story
School teacher Killed by Exploding Parcel: Former Husband and Engineer Suspected
Malda, West Bengal
A 26-year-old schoolteacher, Aparna Biswas, was killed by an exploding parcel
supposedly containing books while she was trying to open it at her rented
accommodation in Malda town. Police are searching for two youths, one of them
her former husband, and the other supposedly an engineer with whom she had
developed a relationship after her divorce. Aparna died moments after being
admitted to the Malda district hospital. The police are yet to find out the
nature of the explosive used but confirmed that a detonator triggered the
explosion.
Aparna taught Bengali at Ramakrishna Balika Vidyalaya and had rented a room in Malanchapalli close to her school seven months ago. She had divorced her unemployed former husband, Sanjay Biswas, two months before she got the job when she realized he was having an affair. The police also suspect Prince Ghosh, a resident of Mangalbari with whom she had a relationship. Prince had threatened her over the phone, saying he would not let her be anyone else’s. The police have despatched two teams to look for Sanjay and Prince.
Investigations revealed that Aparna, who was pursuing her post-graduate degree, had gone to Malda College to attend classes. “She returned around noon when the landlord’s daughter gave her the parcel,” the officer said. The police have sealed the room and are going to take the help of the CID in this case. Aparna’s colleagues had come to the hospital. “We are totally in the dark about why someone should kill her,” said headmistress Sudipta Kumar.
