Md Samir Uddin filed the case on February 6 against 11 members of the family of his neighbour Chittaranjan Nath, 52, including the four and a dead person.

Of the 11, however, the son of Dulal Nath never existed, as Dulal died unmarried five years ago.

The accused are Chittaranjan, his wife Minoti Nath, 40, their two-year-old son Sagar and eleven-month-old Hriday, Chitta's brothers Haradhan, 45, Sunil Nath (a UAE expat) and Dulal, sister-in-law Baby Nath, 35, and nephews 18-month-old Durjoy and seven-month-old Bijoy.

The plaintiff in the case accused Chittaranjan and his family of ransacking and looting his house following a dispute over land on Gopal Singha Lane in Nandan Kanan in the city.

Kotwali police arrested Minoti and Sagar and sent them to jail immediately after the case was filed with Kotwali Police Station. They were release on bail on February 16.

Metropolitan Magistrate Ali Noor granted them bail.
