Archana Palangdar Murder Case (2018)

(Case 7/2019 | Traceless Ep. 76-77)

Archana Palangdar, a 35-year-old resident of Jawaharlal Dutta Road, Uludanga in Kolkata, lived with her family and two children. Her son was studying in class 8 and her daughter in class 3, while her husband Pintu worked at a car servicing company in Kalikapur.

On 21 September 2018, a shocking discovery was made when her body was found wrapped in a blanket and placed inside a jute sack in a drain in Anandpur. The identification was confirmed four days later through a photograph published in the newspaper.

Last Known Movements

A day before her body was discovered, Archana had left her home saying she was going to get her mobile phone repaired. However, she never returned. According to her husband Pintu, he was not at home at the time she left.

A neighbor later confirmed seeing Archana shopping in the market that same day. She appeared completely normal, with no indication of any impending incident.

Identification and Postmortem Findings

Archana’s family identified her after seeing her photograph in the newspaper. The postmortem report later confirmed that the cause of death was strangulation.

Family Statements and Missing Complaint

Her mother-in-law stated that after seeing the photograph, she immediately approached the police station. When Archana did not return home, a missing complaint had already been filed, but no leads were found at that time.

Investigation and Phone Records

During the investigation, police examined Archana’s call records. Her son revealed that she often spoke to a man late at night. Authorities identified two individuals from her phone records—one whom she met through Facebook and another who was an old acquaintance.

Based on preliminary findings, police suspected that Archana may have been in close contact with both individuals, and this could be a possible motive behind the crime.

Past Disputes and Suspicions

Investigators also found that Archana had filed a domestic violence case against her husband and family members three years earlier, which was later withdrawn.

Pintu stated that she may have been influenced by someone at the time but later realized her mistake and withdrew the complaint. However, police noted that Archana had been in frequent contact with an unidentified person in recent times.

This strained relationship between the couple led to suspicion also falling on her husband during the investigation.


हिंदी में केस विवरण

35 वर्षीय अर्चना पलंगदार कोलकाता के उलटाडाँगा स्थित जवाहरलाल दत्ता रोड पर रहती थी। उसके दो बच्चे थे—बेटा कक्षा 8 और बेटी कक्षा 3 में पढ़ती थी।

21 सितम्बर 2018 को आनन्दपुर के एक नाले में पुलिस को उसका शव जूट के बोरे में मिला, जिसकी पहचान चार दिन बाद हो पाई। वह घर से मोबाइल ठीक कराने के बहाने निकली थी, लेकिन वापस नहीं लौटी।

पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट में सामने आया कि उसकी मृत्यु गला दबाकर की गई थी।

जांच के दौरान पुलिस को उसके कॉल रिकॉर्ड से दो लोगों के बारे में जानकारी मिली। प्रारंभिक जांच में यह आशंका जताई गई कि इन संबंधों के कारण यह घटना हुई हो सकती है।

तीन साल पहले उसने अपने पति और परिवार के खिलाफ घरेलू हिंसा का मामला दर्ज किया था, जिसे बाद में वापस ले लिया गया था।
