A 32-year-old man was stabbed to death by his live-in partner in Kolkata. Just hours before his death, he had shared a photo of him with the woman and her son, with the caption "family".
The woman, identified as Sanhati Paul, is divorced and has a young son. She is a professional makeup artist and was in a live-in relationship with Sarthak Das, a photographer.
Das's social media account had several pictures of him and Paul, and with Paul's son. His relationship status was also changed to "engaged".
Das and Paul, both in their 30s, were reportedly having some relationship issues over the past few days. On Wednesday, the woman allegedly stabbed Das with a sharp knife several times.
On receiving the call, a police team reached Paul's apartment in Dumdum area and found Sarthak Das lying in a pool of blood with several stab marks on his body.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was declared brought dead.
The police are yet to ascertain what exactly led to Paul stabbing Das. She has been arrested on murder charges.
