Why attempt to murder case be not handed to CBI: HC to WB govt

The Calcutta High Court today directed West Bengal government to file an affidavit stating why a case of attempt to murder of a youth will not be handed over to CBI for investigation even as the state claimed it was a case of railway accident.
Taking umbrage at the state government not filing supportive documents in favour of its claim that it was a case of railway accident, Justice Dipankar Dutta said though the petitioner has filed the case seeking CID investigation, the state lawyer would have to explain why should the court not hand over the probe to CBI.

Justice Dutta gave the state one week's time to submit an affidavit detailing its reasons.
On March 13 this year, a youth named Rahul Roy was rescued from near Gurudaspur Halt station in the eastern part of the city in a severely injured state with his legs severed.
An FIR had been filed against 12 persons alleging attempt to murder Roy.
Justice Dutta today questioned the state lawyer that though it was being said to be a case of railway accident, there was no supportive document like GRP's report that it was an accident.
The court also said that the post mortem report led to some questions like dragging marks on the shoes of Roy, which have remained unanswered.

Roy has moved a case of inaction on part of Kolkata Police before the High Court and prayed for a CID probe into the matter.
