The autopsy, conducted at 4:45 PM indicated Pritam died 6-7 hours earlier likely due to pancreatic inflammation, possibly triggered by an infection. His heart, liver and kidneys were abnormally enlarged, a condition linked to high blood pressure, though the exact trigger remains unclear. Police have filed an unnatural death case and are investigating Pritam’s phone records and last contacts, as reported by @TV9Bangla. Pritam lived alone in the Sapurji complex since Rinku moved to Dilip Ghosh’s home after their April 18th, 2025 wedding. Despite missing the ceremony due to a trip, Pritam had publicly supported his mother’s decision, expressing joy in an @ABPAnanda interview.

Dilip Ghosh, former BJP state president, stood by Rinku at Nimtala Crematorium, visibly shaken. X posts highlight the couple’s grief with users noting Dilip’s emotional statement about never imagining “the sorrow of losing a son” without experiencing fatherhood. The tragedy, occurring less than a month after the wedding has sparked widespread discussion on social media about health issues among young professionals and the emotional toll on Rinku who raised Pritam single-handedly for 17 years after her divorce.

Additional Information
Pritam’s life appeared vibrant—he was set to visit Durgapur with his uncle on May 13th and had celebrated Mother’s Day with Rinku, gifting her and cutting a cake. However, his sudden unresponsiveness that morning alarmed his girlfriend and friend who were with him the previous night. X posts suggest Pritam may have had underlying health issues with some users speculating about stress or undiagnosed conditions common in high-pressure IT jobs. The Sapurji complex, previously linked to safety concerns is under scrutiny again with residents calling for better emergency response systems, as seen in posts by @KolkataUpdates.

The autopsy’s findings have shifted focus to acute pancreatitis, a condition often linked to alcohol use, infections or genetic factors though no specific cause was confirmed. This has sparked X discussions on health awareness with hashtags like #PancreatitisAwareness gaining traction. Pritam’s support for his mother’s marriage to Dilip Ghosh, despite missing the event, counters earlier rumours of familial discord, as evidenced by his upbeat interview and Rinku’s account of their close bond.
