Rizwanur case:police officers asked to appear in court

Friday, November 21, 2008 at 5:11 am

A court here today directed three police officers accused in the Rizwanur Rahman death case to appear before it on November 24 even as the Calcutta High Court had earlier ordered them to surrender by November 21.

Judicial Magistrate Madhumita Roy, taking into account a plea by lawyers of the police officers that they moved an appeal challenging Tuesday’s high court order directing them to surrender within three days, asked them to appear personally on November 24.

The court also directed the CBI to arrest and produce Rizwanur’s industrialist father in-law Ashok Todi, his brother Pradip Todi and brother in-law Anil Saraogi by December three. They have been evading arrest and have not appeared in the court despite summons, CBI counsel Partha Tapaswi said.

The magistrate also extended the judicial custody of Moinuddin alias Pappu, who has been accused of taking Rs 11 lakh from the Todis to ensure the separation of Rizwanur from Ashok Todi’s daughter Priyanka.

The Todis, meanwhile, moved the high court today challenging the regional passport officer’s decision to cancel their passports. They prayed for reactivation of their passports.

Justice Indira Banerjee deferred the hearing of the case till Monday. Former deputy commissioner (detective department) of Kolkata Police Ajoy Kumar and two officers from his department, Ashok Todi, Pradip Todi and Saraogi along with Pappu were accused of abetting the suicide of computer graphics teacher Rizwanur, criminal intimidation and criminal conspiracy.
