Live LawThe Calcutta High Court on Tuesday refused to transfer to the Central Bureau of Investigation the investigation into the death of student activist Anis Khan. Anish Khan was found dead at his home in Amta block in Howrah district in the early hours of Saturday, February 19, 2022 under mysterious circumstances.The Court had earlier taken suo moto cognisance of the case after terming. Senior counsel Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya appearing for the deceased's father had earlier objected to the report submitted by the SIT of the West Bengal police on the ground that it does not disclose how and on whose permission the raid took place at the home of Anis Khan at Amta in Howrah district. Thus, Salem Khan had moved the High Court seeking an order for an investigation into the death by an impartial agency which is not connected with the West Bengal police.
