Murder of Investigating Officer
On February 11, 2009, Arindam Manna, the Government Railway Police officer who started the probe into the death of Rizwanur, was found murdered beside a railway track, a considerable distance away from his work place.
Manna was also on the list of witness that the CBI submitted along with its chargesheet to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate.
The body has injuries on the left eye, right leg and a deep cut on the throat.
The family members of Manna claimed that there was enough evidence to prove that Manna had been murdered.
"Arindam had two mobile phones - one had Vodafone (9836700511) and the other had Airtel (9903037757) connection. The police recovered the cell phones, but the SIM cards are missing," Manna's brother Debaprasad Moitra claimed.
"The SIM cards have been deliberately taken out to destroy the evidence. Arindam's hands and legs have been broken and his eyes were jutting out. This cannot happen in a suicide. It is a murder and we want the criminals to be punished," Moitra said.
