New Delhi, November 18
The mysterious death of Rizwanur Rehman in Kolkata may turn out to be a suicide case as the CBI is likely to charge a close relative of his wife, Priyanka, with abetment to it besides recommending departmental action against some Kolkata police officials.
As the probe into the death of Rehman, a computer graphics teacher, was reaching its final stage, the CBI sources claimed that it looked like a case of suicide and someone had definitely forced him to take this extreme step.
Without naming the person, the CBI said it had zeroed in on a “close” relative of Priyanka, whom the victim had married. The agency would be pressing abetment to suicide case against the relative.
There have been clear indications that this relative of the girl had allegedly used pressure tactics to drive Rehman to such a stage where he took the extreme step of committing the suicide.
Last month, the CBI had registered a case against Ashok Todi, industrialist father-in-law of Rehman, and others under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code.
The CBI checked the call records and examined all family members of the victim as well as Priyanka, including Todi, during its month-long investigations.
Besides the friends of the deceased, the police officials, who allegedly had “pressurised” Rehman and Priyanka to separate, were also examined.
