Her husband, Debi Prasanna Das, is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology at OUAT. They have a six-year-old son. The couple got married in 2012.

Das was reportedly out with their son for a walk when the incident took place. Basanti hanged herself from a ceiling fan, according to police.

“When I returned at around 8.30 pm, the main gate was locked from inside. I thought she must have done it in anger and waited,” Das was quoted as saying in reports.
