Faizan Ahmed, a third-year mechanical engineering student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, was murdered, with a second forensic examination finding bullet and stab wounds on his neck.
The semi-decomposed body of a 23-year-old student from Assam was found in a room in the Lala Lajpat Rai hostel on October 14, 2022. It was later confirmed that the room in which the body was found was not his.
The latest investigation shows that Ahmed had bullet wounds on the upper left side of his neck and a stab wound on the right side, according to the second post-mortem report conducted by court-appointed forensic expert Dr Gupta.
The report highlights serious discrepancies in the initial investigation conducted by the police and the first autopsy conducted at Midnapore Medical College in October 2022. It further reveals that these injuries were neither documented nor filmed during the initial procedures.
According to the information received from the sources Indian ExpressTraces of human blood were found on Ahmed’s nails, hair, spine, jaw and back muscles.
Initially, the college administration claimed that it was a case of suicide, but Ahmed’s family alleged that he was murdered. They also accused the IIT Kharagpur administration of ignoring his complaints about severe ragging in the hostel.
Ahmed’s father petitioned the Calcutta High Court to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe his death, following which the court ordered exhumation of his body and a second post-mortem to be conducted in May 2023. The court’s decision came after a court-appointed expert pointed out several flaws in the first post-mortem.
The High Court has referred the second post-mortem to “Important and necessary “To reach the truth” an order was issued to exhume the body.
Ahmed’s body, buried in a graveyard in Assam’s Dibrugarh city, was exhumed seven months later by a West Bengal police team with the consent of the family after the Calcutta High Court ordered a second post-mortem.
