Kolkata: A 95-year-old bedridden woman from SS Pally close to Behala Sakuntala Park has lost Rs 1.8 lakh that was kept in her house for medical emergencies. Police are now looking for three women – two caregivers (one left the job on April 1 and the other joined on April 4 but left a few weeks later) and the cook, who left the job as well some days back.According to the woman's son, 68-year-old Anol Ganguly, the theft was spotted on May 6.He registered the case with police on May 7. The suspect, Soma Dey from Rabindra Pally, Maheshtala, was hired on April 4 to care for Ganguly's mother Sudharani. Dey had replaced their previous caregiver, who left on April 1 after two years of service."For the past two years, the same person provided care to my mother but she stopped coming to our house from April 1 due to personal issues. Subsequently, from April 4, we were forced to hire a new caregiver," said Ganguly. "The money was last seen on April 15 when we opened the trunk. When we checked again on May 7, everything was gone," said Ganguly.The family suspects Dey and her husband, Somnath Adhikari, of orchestrating the theft. The complaint stated that even the cook was not above suspicion. "The theft occurred despite the caregiver's limited working hours of 9am to 2pm. Local police have been informed and are investigating the case. This incident highlights the growing concerns about the safety of elderly residents and the importance of thorough background checks for domestic help," said an investigating officer. Lalbazar has issued an advisory saying one is vulnerable to thefts even when inside the house as much as when the house is under lock and key.
