KOLKATA: The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed the CBI to investigate the mysterious death of Rizwanur Rehman, which has caused a public outcry in West Bengal, and submit the report before it within two months.
Justice Soumitra Pal in an interim order observed that the CID could not hold an inquiry into the death of the computer graphics teacher under the given circumstances.
Rizwanur's body was found on rail tracks near Dum Dum far from his home in park Circus on September 21 following his marriage to Priyanka, daughter of industrialist Ashok Todi on August 18.
He had been allegedly threatened by Kolkata police officers, including two deputy commissioners to part with her.
Rizwanur's mother Kishwar Jahan and elder brother Rukbanur had moved the high court seeking a CBI inquiry into his death, claiming they did not have faith in any inquiry conducted by any state agency.
