The Calcutta High Court has taken significant steps in the investigation of Faizan Ahmed's death, an IIT Kharagpur student. A three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT), led by IPS officer K Jayaraman, has been formed to probe the case further. The court has removed the present Investigating Officer (IO) and granted the SIT the authority to conduct narco-analysis tests on the suspects.
In response to concerns raised after the initial autopsy, the court ordered the exhumation of Faizan's body for a second autopsy, which revealed injuries suggesting a homicide. The court expressed dissatisfaction with IIT Kharagpur's handling of the case and acknowledged the possibility of a cover-up.
Faizan Ahmed's family had alleged that he was a victim of ragging, and the court had previously reprimanded the director of IIT Kharagpur for inaction on a ragging complaint. The court's decision to allow narco-analysis tests on the suspects indicates a significant step towards unraveling the truth.
Stay tuned for more updates as the investigation progresses and new information emerges surrounding the unfortunate death of Faizan, the IIT Kharagpur student.
