Kolkata Police Joint Commissioner (crime) Murlidhar Sharma told IANS that Banerjee was suffering from liver cirrhosis. "It was not a case of homicide. Alcohol was found in her stomach at the time of her death," he said, TOI reported. Police will also question a food delivery guy who visited her apartment before her death.

Banerjee, who lived alone with a pet dog in Kolkata's Jodhpur Park, was the youngest daughter of late sitarist Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. On Friday, her domestic help informed police after she did not respond to doorbells or phone calls in the morning. The police broke into her apartment on the third floor and found the dead body inside, with signs of nose bleeding and vomiting.

According to Kolkata Police sources, "The maid, Chandana Das, came to her place and tried to call her on both her numbers. One of her phones was switched off while the other went unanswered despite several attempts. After getting no response, the domestic help got suspicious as she did not respond to doorbells and phone calls. The maid then informed her neighbours about the incident who also tried calling Banerjee for some time and later informed the local police station. We are investigating the matter."
