Anik Dutta Left A Letter For Sweden-Based Daughter Before Death, Raises Possibility Of Suicide

The much-loved filmmaker, Anik Dutta, was found dead at the age of 66 after falling from the roof of a six-storey residential building. The man behind a new genre of political satire in the Bengali film industry was found dead on May 27, 2026, at Hindustan Park near Garihat. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately, he was pronounced dead upon arrival. However, amid that, now reports have gone rife that the filmmaker left a letter for his daughter, suggesting that Dutta might have intentionally jumped off the roof.

Did Anik Dutta commit suicide?

Anik Dutta died at the age of 66, following a fall from a roof. According to the initial investigation, the police had alleged that the filmmaker died of suicide. The report further revealed that a pair of leather sandals and a magazine titled Cinematography Art were found on the building's roof. However, it was the handwritten letter tucked into the magazine that has now caught everyone's attention. It is being alleged that the letter was addressed to his Sweden-based daughter, Aishi, in which he said no one was to be blamed for his death. While the remaining details of the letter have not yet been shared, it is currently being checked to verify Dutta's handwriting.

What happened to Anik Dutta?

The filmmaker, Anik Dutta, was residing on Dover Lane. However, around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, he reached Hindustan Park, a residential building in which his wife had a flat. Nonetheless, instead of visiting his wife, he went straight to the roof of the six-storey building and five minutes later, fell to the ground at 1:05 p.m. Two passersby who heard the loud thud alerted the building's security guards, and soon after, his wife, Sandhi Dutta, was informed and he was rushed to the hospital. According to DCP (Southeast) Saikat Ghosh, the family has not yet filed a complaint. However, an unnatural death case is being looked into by the Gariahat Police. He was quoted as saying:

"The family has not filed a complaint. An unnatural death case has been initiated by Gariahat Police."

Was Anik Dutta suffering from depression?

Anik Dutta started his career in the 1980s with an advertising agency and slowly worked his way up the ladder. However, his breakthrough film came in 2012. The comedy, Bhooter Bhabishyat, was a massive success, earning him immense praise in the industry. However, lately, the industry was abuzz with rumours that Dutta was suffering from depression. However, Utsav Mukherjee said he did not notice anything when he discussed an upcoming project with him a few days before his passing on May 25, 2026. He was quoted as saying:

"He was worried about his health and at times thought he might not be able to make movies again. But we motivated him, and he started working on his upcoming films. We spoke about ‘Aparajito 2’. I also have a call recording from Monday in which he discussed another project involving AI and ghosts. It is odd that someone planning this kind of film would be suffering from severe depression and would end his life."

BJP MLA, Rudranil Ghosh, shared details of Anik Dutta's last rites amid police probe into the suicide angle

Actor and BJP MLA, Rudranil Ghosh, also shared details of Anik Dutta's last rites. The MLA shared that Dutta's last rites would take place on May 28, 2026, after his daughter, Aishi, returns from Sweden. His mortal remains will be taken to Nandan thereafter, where fans and friends will get a chance to pay their respects. He was quoted as saying:

"Anik-da’s cremation will be held on Thursday. His daughter Aishi will return from Sweden and review his documents. After that, his body will be taken to Nandan, where it will be kept for a while."
