Dilip Ghosh’s step son died of hemorrhagic pancreatitis
The sudden and tragic death of Srinjoy (Pritam) Majumdar, son of Rinku Majumdar wife of BP leader Dilip Ghosh, has sent shockwaves and triggered wild speculations. However, according to the preliminary post-mortem report, it appears that acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis could be the underlying cause of Pritam’s untimely demise on Tuesday. Rinku Majumdar is the newly married wife of Dilip Ghosh, the former National Vice-President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and ex-President of the BJP’s West Bengal unit.

Discovery and Post-Mortem Examination
The body of Srinjoy (Pritam) Majumdarr was discovered under mysterious circumstances at his residence located in New Town, Kolkata, earlier in the day. His sudden death prompted a wave of speculation and concern among locals and party members alike.
Shortly after the body was recovered, it was transported to the state-run R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, where the post-mortem was conducted in the afternoon. Medical experts at the facility have indicated that acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis is the most probable cause of death based on initial examinations.
Speculations and Medical Findings
In the wake of Pritam’s death, rumors began circulating about a possible suicide angle. However, the initial findings from the post-mortem report have pointed towards a medical condition rather than any deliberate act. According to medical professionals, acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis is a severe and life-threatening condition marked by inflammation, tissue damage, and internal bleeding within and around the pancreas.
This condition occurs when pancreatic enzymes become activated within the pancreatic ducts instead of in the small intestine, leading to inflammation and subsequent tissue destruction, including damage to the blood vessels. This inappropriate activation of enzymes can cause severe internal bleeding, which can be fatal if not promptly addressed.
While the preliminary report strongly suggests pancreatitis as the cause, experts caution that the final and detailed post-mortem report will provide a more comprehensive analysis, shedding light on the exact sequence of events that led to the death.

Health Complications and Medication
Reports have emerged that Pritam Majumdar had been undergoing treatment for various health-related issues and was taking multiple medications at the time of his death. Medical professionals are expected to investigate whether the combination of his health conditions and prescribed medications could have exacerbated the situation.

Personal and Family Background
The tragic incident has drawn significant attention due to the family’s political connections and recent developments in their personal lives. Just last month, Dilip Ghosh tied the knot with Rinku Majumdar, marking a new chapter in his personal life. Rinku Majumdar’s son, Pritam, was from her first marriage.
Following the marriage announcement, Pritam made a brief statement to the media, expressing his support for his mother’s decision to “start a new life.” He indicated that he was happy for his mother, but notably, he did not attend the wedding ceremony as he was on leave from Kolkata at the time.
Professional Life and Routine
Pritam Majumdar was professionally associated with an Information Technology Enabled Service (ITeS) firm, working out of the IT hub in Sector-5, Salt Lake—a location not far from his residence. Colleagues described him as a dedicated employee who maintained a regular routine.
His sudden death has left friends, family, and colleagues in a state of shock, as he was not known to have displayed any signs of distress in the days leading up to the incident. Authorities have taken note of his professional commitments and personal circumstances to understand any factors that could have influenced his health.
Public and Political Reactions
The news of Pritam Majumdar’s untimely demise has sparked widespread discussions, particularly given Dilip Ghosh’s prominent political role and recent marriage. Political leaders and well-wishers have expressed their condolences to the bereaved family, while also urging the public to refrain from speculating about the circumstances until the detailed medical report is available.
Awaiting Detailed Post-Mortem Report
As the family and the public await the comprehensive post-mortem analysis, the police and medical experts continue their investigation to determine any underlying factors that may have contributed to the sudden medical crisis.
Given the sensitivity surrounding the case, authorities have appealed for privacy and restraint in public discussions, emphasizing the need to respect the grieving family during this difficult time.
