Santanu Bhattacharyya, our consulting editor, recently sent his estranged brother Indranil Bhattacharya (9830776843) an email regarding unscrupulous and gullible attitudes on the division of property between two brothers. He also claimed that he was humiliated by Sonali Bhattacharya (6290632270),the wife of Indranil Bhattacharya and most importantly they prevented his father to visit his place for the last three four months although they are claiming he is ill but it's not the case even his father admitted that they prevented him to visit his son's place due to property.
You have been disparaging me from day one, even telling other apartment owners at A 8 Green Park that I am stealing money from my father's pension account. However, the truth is that you steal money from my father on a regular basis as father told me.I have his duly signed letters.However, the reality is that you consistently took out the entire amount from father's pension account, including Rs. 23,000, which you did by issuing a check on July 2, 2025.
I'm challenging it in court because my father informed me that you are taking advantage of his elderly age and forgetfulness. And you believe that paying Rs 5000+5000 for apartment paintings is an excellent job, but did you know that I have previously paid several instalments.The other flat owners initially demanded that I pay Rs 50,000 to paint the outdoor apartment, but I refused since I am not the owner.
I asked our father to speak with Swapan Kaku, and they agreed that we would pay Rs 5,000 each person, which I did for three to four months.But as of March 2025, I declined because, in spite of my enormous contributions to the flat—from painting the interior to regularly replacing the bathroom fixtures and acid polish of bathrooms (it costs Rs 12000 per work) to maintenance charges of the apartment, such as replacing the pipes,replacement of the submerged pump—I even paid Rs 9000 property tax penalty for the apartment from 2017 to 2024. You disregarded and maligned me, and I never requested payment from our father.I decided to reject the property transfer since I felt humiliated and it didn't adhere to the very minimum of ethical standards. Your attitude was, "Yes, I am the boss," and my brother complied with my decision at all costs. I had already filed a lawsuit. As said by Jim Rohn, "arrogance from ignorance is the worst kind of arrogance."
Additionally, I solely follow my father's instructions. No one, except him, has the authority to dictate. If you had given me the deed copy in 2021, I wouldn't have objected, but your dishonest and fraudulent conduct forced me to change my mind and I no longer accept the property division. From 2023 onward, I repeatedly told my father to give me the deed copy.Your conceit and autocratic demeanor keep him from telling you, so I'm not sure whether he did.
