"The pornography content in his mobile phone was quite disturbing and violent. We wonder about the state of his mind as watching such things is quite unnatural," a police officer said.

During the investigation, it was found that he had a history of physically abusing his wives, he said.

Roy's neighbours said his first wife was from Behala, while the second wife was from Park Circus.

"He got married for the third time to a girl from Barrackpore. But that also did not last long. Then he married a girl from the city's Alipore area," a neighbour said.
