Techie Adhip’s kin in Bengal shocked by the murder

Times News Network

Kolkata: Relatives and neighbours of slain Bangalore-based IT employee Adhip Lahiri’s family in Salt Lake’s Laboni Abasan are shocked. To neighbours, the murder of the ‘amiable, polite and humble’ young man is unbelievable.

Adhip’s father Arun Chandra Lahiri flew to Bangalore on Friday on hearing of his son’s death. The rest of the family, including Adhip’s mother, brother Ayanand and an uncle left for Bangalore in the wee hours of Saturday.

Adhip’s father is a retired employee of an insurance company. He was also president of Laboni Abasik Samiti a few years ago. Adhip’s mother Aparna is an assistant headmistress at Dum Dum Motijheel Girls’ High School. Ayan is a second year mechanical engineering student at Jadavpur university.

Adhip’s aunt Sanjukta Maitra, who lives at Skyline Apartment near Bidhan Sishu Udyan, said Adhip was supposed to arrive in Kolkata on Sunday and fly to Germany on December 26 on an official assignment. “Adhip was a brilliant student. He passed out of IIT Kharagpur and first joined American Express. He did his MBA in New Delhi and got married in November 2000. We cannot even imagine that somebody could kill such a boy,” she said.

The relatives are clueless about the motive behind the murder. “We learnt that Adhip’s laptop as well as his cellphone was lost,” said Sanjukta. “We have heard that there was a deep injury mark on the right side of Adhip’s face,” said a relative.
