Subal Bhowmik said: “The police did not even inform us there was a suicide note – it was reported by a media organisation for the first time, and then the family denied its existence. The note again reappeared a few days later. This is suspicious – they took days to plant the note.”

The deceased, a young woman, was reportedly suffering from a mental disorder for the past 14 years, was a close relative of the AITC leader. She was staying in the same residence as Ms Deb with her mother.

Her mother, who is also protesting, said: “The police did not even talk to me once about the incident – but they arrested Panna.”
