According to family sources, just a few months ago, Dipanjan's father had bought him an Android phone for ₹32,000. But he wanted to buy an iPhone. With his birthday approaching, he had been demanding that his parents buy him an iPhone for the occasion. But when this demand was not fulfilled, he had not been eating properly for several days. On Monday, when family members could not see him at home for a long time, they started searching for him. Eventually, his hanging body was recovered from inside the room.
