KOLKATA: A 26-year-old woman was found dead in a pool of blood on the premises of a five-storey apartment complex in Baguiati on Friday night. Police suspect Titas Nandy fell from the terrace. Her husband Kaustav Sarkar was arrested on Saturday after her family members alleged he had pushed her off during an altercation over an alleged pregnancy.
