Rukbanur Rahman, elder brother of computer graphics teacher Rizwanur, described as a “setback” the order of the Supreme Court directing the CBI on Tuesday to carry on its probe into the case as one of suicide.
Rizwanur was found dead on the railway track near the city on September 21, 2007 a few days after his marriage.
“It is a setback as the court has not allowed a fresh probe into my brother's death which, the family believes, was a murder,” Mr. Rahman said.
Rizwanur's mother Kishwar Jahan said, “We will have to accept what the court says.”
Biman Bose, chairman of the Left front Committee in West Bengal, said the court had ratified the findings of the State's Criminal Investigation Department, which was first directed to inquire into the death.
Murder: family
Rizwanur's family had maintained that he could not have committed suicide and that he was murdered.
His death led to a public outcry with the family complaining that he was hounded by the Todi family and by certain senior police officials for marrying industrialist Ashok Todi's daughter Priyanka.
