The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a fresh probe into the death of Muslim youth Rizwanur Rahman, whose mysterious death after his marriage with the daughter of a rich Hindu businessman in 2007 had sparked widespread outrage.<\/p>\n
The court, acting on a complaint filed by Rizwanur’s brother Rukbanur Rahman, asked the CBI to conduct a fresh probe by starting a murder case.<\/p>\n
A division bench of judges Bhaskar Bhattacharya and Prosensjit Mondal in their judgment directed the CBI to give a report to the court within four months.<\/p>\n
The division bench directed the CBI to take the complaint filed by Rukbanur Rahman as an FIR and start a case under section 302 (murder).<\/p>\n
Rizwanur, a computer graphics teacher, had married Priyanka – the daughter of businessmen Ashok Todi. He was found dead September 21, 2007, along the railway tracks at Patipukur near the city’s northern suburb of Dum Dum.<\/p>\n
The death sparked outrage following allegations that Ashok Todi had influenced several police officers to bring pressure on Rizwanur, 20, to opt out of the marriage.<\/p>\n
Several police officers, including the then city police commissioner Prasun Mukherjee, were later removed from their posts for their alleged role in Rizwanur’s death.<\/p>\n
Todi, two of his relatives and four senior city police officers were among those later charge-sheeted for allegedly abetting Rizwanur’s suicide<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
