Actress Sumi Har Choudhury found wandering in Bardhaman; police try to locate her family - More details inside
Former Bengali actress Sumi Har Choudhury was reportedly found wandering on the roadside near Amila Bazar in West Bengal ’s Purba Bardhaman district on July 14.
“I’m Sumi Har Choudhury, an actress”
According to Indian Express, dressed in shorts and a black shirt, she was spotted scribbling on paper and speaking incoherently in both Bengali and English. Her disoriented appearance initially confused onlookers until she softly declared, “I’m Sumi Har Choudhury, an actress.”
But for the group of kind-hearted locals at Khandaghosh, her story began to unfold after they looked up her name online. Reportedly, the residents who saw her didn't believe her when she kept on repeating that she was an actor. Only after seeing her pictures, they got to know the truth.
“She has been moved to a shelter home" - Police says
She reportedly gave inconsistent details about her background, sometimes saying she was from Kolkata, and at other times from Bolpur. According to police, she was once a resident of Behala in Kolkata and may have spent time in Bolpur. “She has been moved to a shelter home. We have informed the Behala Police Station and are trying to contact her family,” said Abhishek Mandal, Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Bardhaman Sadar South.
