According to local sources, Dutta is associated with building materials that supply business in partnership.
His family involved his former business partner, Babulal Singh.
“Babulal borrowed Rs 4 lakh from my child.
But he was involved with criminal activities.
Then, my son left a partnership and demanded his money back.
That’s why Babalal hatched the conspiracy to kill my child,” said Mother Rekha Dutta.
