Click to play videoNew Delhi: A key witness in the Rizwanur Rahman murder case that had rocked Kolkata and the West Bengal government has been found dead.
Arindam Manna was found dead in exactly the same way as Rizwan. Manna, who was also the first investigating officer in the case and later turned witness, was found on the railway tracks in Hooghly with cut marks on his neck.
The body was found at 0830 hours IST on Wednesday morning.
Police believe it is a case of murder. Manna was posted with General Railway Police, and had begun investigation in the Rizwanur Rehman case.
The Supreme Court on January 16 granted bail to Kolkata industrialists Ashok Kumar Todi and Pradeep Kumar Todi in the Rizwanur case.
A Bench of Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and P Sathasivam rejected the CBI's argument that the accused will influence the investigation if freed on bail.
The apex court, however, granted liberty to the CBI to move an application for cancellation of bail if and when the accused indulge in such attempts.
Ashok Kumar Todi and his brother Pradeep have been accused by the CBI of abetting the suicide of Rizwanur Rehman due to his matrimonial relationship with the former's daughter Priyanka Todi.
Rizwanur, a 30-year-old graphic designer working with a multimedia firm, was found dead on September 21 last year near railway tracks at Kolkata’s Patipukur suburb, barely a month after marrying Priyanka.
