In Kolkata, a family staying at Hotel Al Burj noticed an intense smell and found a decomposed body inside a storage bed on Friday morning. The victim was identified as Rahul Lal (26), who had checked into the room with two other men on Wednesday evening. One of the suspects left the hotel after checking in while the second returned around 11:20 PM, stayed briefly, and then left with the third suspect.
