Sajal Barui

Sajal Barui is a convicted criminal who is serving a life sentence in prison for the murder of his father, stepmother, and half-brother. He committed the murders at the age of sixteen, on 22 November 1993 in Kolkata, India. The murders made headlines in the Kolkata press due to the gruesome nature of the crimes and because Barui and his accomplices were minors at the time.

Early childhood Sajal Barui's father, Subal Barui, abandoned his first wife, Neoti Barui, by whom he bore a son, and had a relationship with another woman, Minati. In 2001, while serving his prison sentence, Sajal Barui showed signs of an alleged kidney ailment and was transferred to Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital for examination. On the night of his escape, Sajal Barui hosted a beer party to which he invited the two police constables that had been put on guard to watch him. Soon after this criminal nexus was discovered, Sajal Barui was shifted back to the Alipore Central Jail. Barui was found guilty & was sentenced to imprisonment. He was released from prison in 2017. No further news of Barui has been obtained by the media since then.
