HC directs IO to be present in court in Kandi abduction case

The Calcutta High Court today directed that the investigating officer be present in court along with case diary after the prosecution submitted that three separate FIRs had been registered in connection with the alleged abduction of an independent councillor of Kandi municipality in Murshidabad district.
Justice Dipankar Dutta directed that the investigating officer in the alleged abduction of Debajyoti Roy be present in court tomorrow along with the case diary.
The state counsel earlier told the court that three FIRs, one by the family members, another by the staff members of the school, where Roy taught and yet another by the headmaster of the school, had been filed before the Kandi police station.

Roy, an independent councillor at Kandi, was said to have played a pivotal role, with the Left and Trinamool Congress being evenly poised at 8 members each, for a trust vote on Saturday for the position of chairman of the municipal body of Kandi town.
Roy was rescued from abductors by the police at a road checkpoint from a car in the early hours of Sunday.
