Dr. Jayanta Chatterjee



Dear Colleagues,

It is with deep regret and profound sorrow, we have learnt about the sad demise of Dr Jayanta Chattejee (Kolkata). He was one of our senior Fellows and was deeply involved in IPS activities. He was Chairman of the Forensic Psychiatry Section of IPS in 2003-05.

Under his able leadership, a National Seminar on Forensic Psychiatry was organised in Kolkata on 5 Dec 2004, with the Theme: "Divorce and Mental Illness".It was a big success. I had the opportunity to getting closely associated with him at that time. He had tremendous commitment and showed attention to detail. It was unforgettable, that he received us personally at the Kolkata airport with bouquets in hand, even at midnight!

It was his personal qualities that endeared him to all those who knew him. In his death, we have lost a great friend and a perfect human being. We express our deepest condolences to his family. May his soul rest in peace.
