KOLKATA: A top Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officer told DNA that industrialist Ashok Todi will interrogated in a “tough manner” to find out his possible involvement in the death of graphic designer Rizwanur Rahman. “Todi might be grilled tonight or on Sunday by our sleuths,” the officer said.
A day after filing a case of murder against Todi, the CBI on Saturday began its probe into the mysterious death of Rizwanur and visited the spot where his body was found last month.
A seven-member CBI team, led by Special Crime Branch (SCB) joint director Arun Kumar, visited the spot at Patipukur, the railway track between Bidhan Pally and Shanti Colony in Kolkata. The team, which includes forensic experts, spent more than an hour near the railway tracks.
“We have lodged a First Information Report against Ashok Todi on the basis of the high court’s order. An FIR is not a charge, it is only information,” he told DNA. He said the case had been filed under sections 302 (murder), 120B (conspiracy) and 506 (threatening) of the Indian Penal Code.
He said the case against Todi had been filed under sections dealing with murder, criminal conspiracy and criminal intimidation with the threat to cause death.
The CBI on Friday registered a case of murder against Kolkata-based Todi, who heads the multi-million-rupee Lux Cozi group. His daughter Priyanka Todi had married Rizwanur Rahman against her father’s wishes.
The body of Rizwanur, 30, a graphics designer of Arena Multimedia, was found beside a railway track Sep 21 in Kolkata with his head smashed, barely a month after his marriage with Priyanka.
Todi had allegedly threatened his son-in-law with dire consequence and put serious pressure on him through the police to annul the marriage.
The Calcutta high court had on Tuesday ordered a CBI inquiry into Rizwanur’s death terming the ongoing West Bengal Criminal Investigation Department (CID) investigation as “illegal”.
Faced with a court rebuke and public protests, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Wednesday removed five police officials, including Kolkata Police Commissioner Prasun Mukherjee, for their alleged collusion with Todi in Rizwanur’s harassment and death.
“It’s good that CBI has finally started their investigation. We have been continuously raising our demand for a CBI inquiry. We will wait for justice to come,” Rizwanur’s brother Rukbanur Rahman said.
