CBI booked the case against father-in-law of Rizwanur Rehman

The CBI on Friday registered a murder case against Ashok Todi, the industrialist father-in-law of Rizwanur Rehman, a computer professional who died under mysterious circumstances in Kolkata recently. On October 16, Calcutta High Court had ordered a CBI probe into the "unnatural death" that also led to the removal of city police chief Prasun Mukherjee on Wednesday amid charges of making it look like a case of suicide.

A team led by a CBI joint director will investigate the circumstances that led to Rizwanur’s death. The team is expected to visit the rail tracks near Dum Dum where Rizwanur’s body was found on September 21, far from his home in Park Circus. A case under section 302 (murder) has been lodged against Todi and others.

Rizwanur, who used to teach computer graphics, had married Todi’s daughter Priyanka on August 18, apparently against the wishes of her well-connected family and his death a month later evoked nationwide outrage. The youth’s mother Kishwar Jahan and brother Rukbanur later moved the HC, seeking a high-level inquiry into his death, insisting they had no faith in the state government, especially since Rizwanur had been allegedly threatened by senior Kolkata police officials to separate from Priyanka.
