Tripura Shocker: Doctor kills man in Love Triangle, Hides body in freezer

Agartala: In one of Tripura's most spine-chilling murder cases, a doctor's jealousy, love, and obsession with his cousin allegedly drove him to kill a young man, who was previously in a relationship with her. 

It has been reported that a deadly love triangle between the doctor, his cousin and the victim has led to the cold-blooded murder of the young man, Sariful, whose body was discovered inside a deep freezer at a shop in Gandacherra in Tripura. 

The deceased, who worked as an electrician for the Agartala Smart City project, had been missing since June 8. His disappearance took a tragic turn when police found his body stuffed in a freezer on June 11. 

Claiming that the murder is premeditated, the police described the incident in detail, saying that the doctor was in love with his cousin, but he was deeply jealous of Shariful, who was once in a relationship with his cousin. Even though the woman later grew closer to the doctor, he reportedly saw Shariful as a threat to his hopes of winning her over.

Out of jealousy and rivalry, he allegedly killed him and took help from his family members in carrying out the murder. The doctor's family became active accomplices in disposing of the victim’s body in a deep freezer.

"Initial findings suggest that Dibakar Saha was in love with a woman who happened to be his cousin. The victim, Sariful, was also in a romantic relationship with the same woman. Jealousy and rivalry appear to be the primary motives behind the crime," SP Kumar told TOI. 

As per the Ukhrul Times news report, the incident took place when the doctor lured Sariful into the residence of a co-accused in the Indranagar locality of the city, under the pretext of giving him a gift. Upon arrival, Sariful found three others present - the family members of the doctor and the co-accused. At the designated location, the accused doctor strangled Shariful to death. 

It has been reported that the doctor purchased a trolley bag, reportedly with the intent to use it for disposing of the body just two days before the murder. After committing the crime, the doctor hid Sariful's body in the trolley and later shifted it to the house of a woman identified as Mousami.

The next day, the accused doctor's parents travelled from Gandacherra to Agartala in a van and helped their son move the body. Together, they transported it back to their hometown and stored it in a freezer at their family-run shop.

Shariful’s family, worried after he didn’t return home, filed a missing person report on June 9, naming Dr *** as the last person he spoke to. This clue helped police zero in on the doctor, and following his arrest, he confessed during interrogation. His confession led to the arrest of all six people involved.

According to the police, the doctor had completed his MBBS from Bangladesh and resides at a rented house in Agartala’s Bankumari area, although his family is based in Gandacherra.

The arrested include the doctor, his parents, and the three others who were allegedly part of the murder and cover-up. Police say the investigation is still ongoing and more details may emerge in the coming days.
