A Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by the West Bengal Government to probe the death of a student leader on Tuesday submitted a progress report on its investigation before the Calcutta High Court. The investigation report was submitted in the court of Justice Rajasekhar Mantha. The lawyers appearing for the State government said that the investigation was nearing completion and the charge-sheet can be filed soon.
The 82-page report was accepted and taken on record by the court. Though the contents of the report are not yet public, the court directed that the matter will be taken up for hearing again on Monday.
The Calcutta HC is considering a petition by the deceased’s father, Salem Khan, along with a suo motu petition initiated by the court into the death, and on February 24 said it is expected that no stone would be left unturned over the course of the investigation.
