Kolkata
A shocking death inside Kolkata’s Sessions Court has left the city on edge. Gopal Nath, a security officer assigned to a judge, was found dead with bullet wounds in the court premises early this morning. His 9mm service pistol lay beside him, raising the question—was it suicide or something more suspicious?

Shocking Discovery
Around 7 AM, court staff opened the premises and found Nath seated in a chair with a gunshot wound on his forehead. He was taken to the hospital, but doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Police teams from Hare Street Police Station, along with forensic experts and detectives, rushed to the spot. The entire court premises became a crime scene as officials searched for clues.
Murder or Suicide? The Investigation Begins
The biggest clue—the 9mm pistol found next to the body—could suggest suicide. A senior officer said:
“He may have used his own gun to end his life. But we are checking all angles.”
However, forensic experts are examining the pistol for fingerprints. If only Nath’s fingerprints are found, it might confirm suicide. But if someone else’s prints are there, the case takes a different turn.
A Crime Scene Inside a Courtroom
A security officer is found dead inside the place meant to uphold justice. If it was suicide, what led him to this step? If it was murder, who was behind it?
Investigators are looking into his phone records, recent conversations, and security footage to find answers.
Unanswered Questions
– Was Nath under pressure or facing threats?
– Did someone else pull the trigger?
– How did this happen inside a high-security court?
This is not just a tragedy; it raises serious security concerns. Until the truth comes out, Kolkata waits for answers.
