Sanjoy’s friends are still waiting for their Godot

Asking for details of the one-man commission of inquiry report set up by the State Government in September, they unanimously felt that it was "not fair to close the case."

Ghose was abducted in July. Then there were messages that he had drowned, he was alive, he was going to be released and he had fallen off a cliff in Arunachal Pradesh. Then ULFA activist Amrit Datta was nabbed by the police and he gave a statement saying that Ghose was killed the day he was kidnapped.

The family raised a number of questions about the contradictory statements. "There is no reliable information being given. Initially the Chief Minister gave a statement on July 15 saying that he had full knowledge of Sanjoy’s whereabouts. Later he said that as early as July 8 he had bad news. A Chief Minister cannot give such statements without solid facts backing it," says Sumita. The group also does not consider the statement of Amrit Datta, which they allege he has retracted, accurate information to go by.
