Arun De was known to be a respectful, and well off member of the community, retied from TATA steel, He was living with his son Partha De and daughter Debjani De. Partha competed his education and went abroad, where he was pursuing his profession and living a normal life. His sister Debjani was a school teacher, who used to teach music in the local school. During 2011, Partha returned to India, knowing the deteriorating condition of his mother Mrs Arun De. Unfortunately Mrs Arun passed away. It is said that following her mother´s death the family turned extremely superstitious, believing that magic or some sort of demonic force has affected their family. Debjani also started spiritual practices, isolating herself from the world.
Debjani believed in extreme fasting, and spiritual awakening, and soon, her brother Partha became her only connection to reality. Their relationship grew increasingly obsessive.” There were two more individuals present in the house, Debjani´s two pet dogs, and she was strongly attached with them. ,

But instead of preforming cremation or informing the police, Partha refused to accept her death. He continued to talk to her, play music for her, and even feed her body—believing she would return to life.”
“Partha was not just grieving… he was trapped in his own twisted world. He even kept the skeletons of two pet dogs, refusing to bury them. The house had become a graveyard of the living and the dead.”
But there´s confusion regarding the recent suicide of Arun De that let police to uncover these horrors. “Had he realized what his son had been doing? Was this an act of escape, or was he too drawn into the darkness?”
“Psychologists who studied Partha’s case suggested, that he was suffering from severe depression, schizophrenia, or delusional disorder. He lived in complete isolation, lost in his obsession with his dead sister. His diaries, found later, contained disturbing entries—speaking of voices, unseen forces, and an unbreakable bond with Debjani.”
“Partha was mentally unstable. His deep grief, combined with religious beliefs and isolation, led him to disconnect from reality. In his mind, his sister was never dead.”
“After the shocking discovery, Partha De was sent for psychiatric treatment. He was eventually released and lived alone in a small apartment. But on February 21, 2017, Partha was found dead in his bathroom, having taken his own life. His demons had finally consumed him.”
“The Robinson Street House has since remained abandoned, its dark history still haunting those, who remember the case. A house that once held a family full of life… turned into a tomb of untold horrors.”
“This case left behind more questions than answers. Was Partha truly insane, or was he simply a man who couldn’t let go? Could someone have stopped this tragedy before it unfolded? And most importantly… are there more stories like this hiding behind closed doors?”
