Digital Desk: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has intensified calls for justice in the case of Faizan Ahmed, the IIT-Kharagpur student whose death has sparked controversy and concern. In a recent development, Sarma has urged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to transfer the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) following alarming revelations from a second forensic report.
According to Sarma's letter, the latest forensic examination, conducted under the directives of the Calcutta High Court, uncovered disturbing details: a gunshot wound on Ahmed's upper left neck and a stab wound on the right side. These findings contradict earlier assertions by IIT-Kharagpur authorities, who initially attributed Ahmed's death to suicide, a claim disputed by his parents who had noticed signs of physical trauma on his body.
Expressing grave concern over these findings, Sarma emphasized the need for justice and closure for Ahmed's family. "The perpetrators of this horrific crime and anyone involved in concealing it must be swiftly brought to justice," he asserted in his letter. Sarma underscored the importance of a transparent and impartial investigation by the CBI to ensure accountability and truth in the case.
Faizan Ahmed, a promising 23-year-old mechanical engineering student from Tinsukia, Assam, was found dead in his hostel room on October 14, 2022. His death, initially deemed suicide, prompted his mother to petition the Calcutta High Court, leading to the recent forensic reevaluation and the call for a deeper inquiry into the circumstances surrounding his tragic demise.
The case has not only raised questions about campus safety and administrative transparency but has also galvanized demands for justice across state borders. Sarma's proactive stance reflects a commitment to ensuring that Ahmed's death is thoroughly investigated, providing solace to his grieving parents, and upholding the principles of justice and accountability.
