Kolkata, March 26 The Calcutta High Court today directed the state government to place a document pertaining to the preliminary postmortem report of Rizwanur Rehman.

Justice Dipankar Dutta directed the state government to produce Form 48, as mentioned in the Police Regulation of Bengal.

Form 48 records personal information like name, age and address of the deceased. It

provides preliminary information on the body in an unnatural death case.

The form must be filled by the police and signed by the officer-in-charge of the police station under the Police Regulation of Bengal norms. However, the state government did not produce the document with the affidavit in court.

Meanwhile, Justice Dutta also raised a query regarding the Dum Dum GRP determining the body as 55 year-old, while Rizwanur Rehman was only 29 years old. Advocate Kalyan Bandopadhyay, the counsel for the Rizwanur’s family, had raised the issue earlier.

The counsel for the five police officials said that the FIR was based on the statement of the constable who had spotted the body.

Advocate Samaraditya Pal, counsel for Prasun Mukherjee, former commissioner of Kolkata Police and other police officials, said that the media had distorted Mukherjee’s statement at a press conference on September 23 regarding the case.

Prasun Mukherjee had reportedly told media persons that the death was a suicide case. Justice Dutta asked the former police commissioner to place his statement before the court.
