Two men who were partying on New Year Eve died in separate incidents early on Friday.
Apu Mullick, 35, who was at a rooftop gathering at a relative’s home on Parui Das Para Road in Parnasree, slumped over the parapet of the single-storey building around 2.30 am on Friday.
Mullick’s friends said he was feeling unwell and had leaned over the parapet to throw up when he fell down.
Mullick was declared dead at Vidyasagar State General Hospital.
Some of his friends alleged negligence against the hospital staff in attending to the patient. However, there they did not lodge any complaint.
The police have started an unnatural death case. The body has been sent for post-mortem.
Mullick, originally from Siliguri, was staying with his sister and brother-in-law at their Parnasree home.
The other death was reported from Haltu, in the Garfa police station area.
Subrata Biswas, 34, from Nadia and a Sanskrit teacher at a Murshidabad school, had gone to a friend’s flat on Sarat Para Road in Haltu, along with two other friends, to party.
Around 4.15am, his friends found him lying unconscious on one of the beds. When they failed to wake him up, they took Biswas to SSKM Hospital, where he was declared dead.
Officers of Garfa police station said they did not find any injury marks on the body.
The friend in whose flat the party was held is a researcher in the metallurgy department of Jadavpur University, the police said.
“The exact cause of death could be ascertained only after we get the post-mortem report,” a senior officer said.
An unnatural death case has been started. No complaint was lodged till Friday evening. A preliminary inquiry did not suggest any foul play, an officer said.
