Six months after the death of a student at IIT Kharagpur, the Calcutta Court has issued a unique order under which the body of the student will have to be exhumed.
Six months after the death of a student in the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, the Calcutta Court has passed a unique order as the probe regarding his death is still advancing. Due to this new order, the body of the student will now be exhumed.
IIT Kharagpur student Faizan Ahmed died under mysterious circumstances inside his hostel room at the premier institute. The IIT Kharagpur authorities had reported that the student had taken his own life, and Ahmed’s parents have alleged that it is a murder.
Now, the Calcutta Court has ordered the officials to launch a strict probe into the matter, issuing a rare order. In its order, the Calcutta Court said that third-year student Faizan Ahmed’s body will be exhumed and a second post-mortem will be conducted on the body.
According to his social media posts, Faizan had been a victim of ragging, but his parents alleged that it was not the reason behind his alleged suicide, and he had been murdered in October last year.
While issuing the order, Justice Rajasekhar Mantha said, "The body of the victim has been buried as per Muslim rites at Assam. Let the body of the victim Faizan Ahmed is ordered to be exhumed. The investigating officer in the matter shall coordinate with the Assam Police and ensure that the body and/or remains are exhumed, brought to Kolkata by the State Police and a fresh post-mortem is conducted."
According to the previous post-mortem of the student, two injury marks were seen at the back of his head. There was also mysteriously no smell from the body decomposing inside the room for three days, according to the investigations.
