Today, the Calcutta High Court has set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the death of IIT Kharagpur student Faizan Ahmed.

The court also allowed a narco test on anyone that the investigation team suspects could be involved in the case. The second autopsy of Faizan Ahmed's body refers to injuries sustained before death which were homicidal in nature.

Earlier Calcutta High Court has ordered to conduct a fresh autopsy of an IIT-Kharagpur student, Faizan Ahmed, who was found dead in his hostel room in October 2022.

Faizan was found dead in the hostel room on October 14 last year. The college authorities had said it was a case of suicide, but the family had alleged that he had been killed.

The bench headed by Justice Rajasekhar Mantha said, "The body of the victim has been buried as per Muslim rites at Assam. Let the body of the victim Faizan Ahmed is ordered to be exhumed,"

"The investigating officer in the matter shall coordinate with the Assam Police and ensure that the body and/or remains are exhumed, brought to Kolkata by the State Police and a fresh post-mortem is conducted," he added.
