The Calcutta High Court on Thursday directed a District Judge to supervise the second postmortem of the body of student leader Anish Khan.
Justice Rajasekhar Mantha, who is hearing a petition demanding a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation into the death of 28-year-old student leader, also ordered that the mobile phone of the deceased be examined under the supervision of the District Judge. The mobile phone would be examined by the Central Forensic Science Laboratory, Hyderabad at the earliest and a report would be sent to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the murder. A copy would be required to be sent to the petitioner.
The family members of Anish Khan had refused to hand over the mobile phone to the SIT and also did not allow the administration to exhume the body. The court, however, did not accept the petitioner’s demand for a CBI probe and the matter will come up for hearing after 15 days. Senior lawyer and Rajya Sabha MP Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya, appearing for the family of the deceased, said that court would take a call on the functioning of SIT after 15 days.
