“It has been learnt that Bristy Mukherjee was undergoing divorce process and was under depression and was also on treatment. The body has been sent for autopsy and the actual cause of death will be known after the post-mortem reports come out,” said a cop.

Notably, apart from broken marriage, Mukherjee was also among those who lost their jobs as a non-teaching staff member of the Bolpur Upper Primary School in March 2023 after the Supreme Court had scrapped the recruitment orders in alleged ‘cash for jobs’ scam.
