Police on Tuesday recovered the body of 70-year-old Tulsidas Roy, a former employee of a private firm in Dhaka, from his apartment in Dakshin Roynagar, Regent Park.
An unnatural death case has been started, said S.N. Gupta, superintendent of South 24-Parganas police. The body has been sent for post-mortem.
Roy had come to live in the city about three months ago. His family members are still in Dhaka, where his son works in an embassy. In Calcutta, Roy was looked after by relatives, who live nearby.
"He was last seen on Sunday afternoon. Today, as a foul smell emanated from the apartment, we informed Regent Park police station. The cops broke open the door and discovered the body," said Subhas Dey, Roy's next-door neighbour.
The body, he added, was lying in a pool of blood on the bedroom floor. "Roy was naked and a napkin was found beside the body."
Another neighbour, Manatosh Mirdha, suspects Roy had been murdered.
