The Calcutta High Court pulled up the city police for their shoddy handling of the Rizwanur Rehman death case.
The Calcutta High Court on Thursday pulled up the city police for their shoddy handling of the Rizwanur Rehman death case and directed the CBI to chargesheet all the seven accused.
Computer graphics teacher Rizwanur, who was under tremendous pressure to get separated from his wife Priyanka, daughter of an industrialist Ashok Todi, ever since their marriage, was found dead along a rail track on September 21, 2007.
The incident sparked off widespread furore following which the High Court directed CBI to conduct a probe into the case.
The CBI submitted its report on February 28 to the court stating that Rizwanur had committed suicide, but recommended action against senior city police officers including the then Police Commissioner Prasun Mukherjee.
Justice Dipankar Datta, in a 120-page order, today asked the central investigative agency to file chargesheets against the seven accused, including industrialist Pradip Todi, A Saraogi, Pappu, besides the then DCP (DD) Ajay Kumar, ACP Sukanti Chakraborty and SI Krishnendu Das of anti-rowdy section.
