Rizwanur’s mother refuses to accept that her son committed suicide

The family of Rizwanur Rehman doubted the authenticity of media reports that CBI has come to the conclusion that the computer graphics teacher, who married the daughter of a Hindu industrialist, had committed suicide.

The family of Rizwanur Rehman on Friday doubted the authenticity of media reports that CBI has come to the conclusion that the computer graphics teacher, who married the daughter of a Hindu industrialist, had committed suicide.

“Firstly, the question is the authenticity of the report, which is being stated to be of the CBI, much ahead of its submission to the Calcutta High Court on January 8,” Rizwanur’s elderbrother Ruqbanur Rehman said when asked to comment on the reports emanating from Delhi.

He said “we will seek to know how the report, purportedly by the CBI, has come to the media much ahead of its scheduled submission to the high court.” He said the family believed that it was a ‘pre-planned murder’.

Ruqbanur, however, expressed confidence in the CBI which, he said, had ‘systematically’ conducted the probe into his brother’s unnatural death September 21.

Rizwanur’s mother Keshwar Jahan said she would never accept that her son committed suicide.

“He was not a type of boy who can commit suicide,” she said.

Jahan said she would wait for the CBI report.
