The news channel also filed an affidavit along with the transcription of the video footage in compliance with the earlier orders passed by Justice Dipankar Dutta.

Another Bengali TV channel submitted the edited video footage of the same press conference.

Justice Dutta had earlier asked the TV news channels to submit the unedited video footage to ascertain the statements made by Mukherjee just after the death of Rehman on September 23, 2007.

The Rehman family has alleged in a petition that the then Kolkata Police

Commissioner’s remark of terming Rehman’s death as suicide had influenced the investigation carried out by other agency.

At the press conference Mukherjee had said: “It was a case of suicide”. This kind of remark had influenced the investigation while it had been carried out by other agency, they said.

Meanwhile, Asoke Todi, who has been accused of abetting Rehman to commit suicide, moved a plea to the court that he was unable to collect the copy of the FIR lodged by the CBI.

His advocate Pradip Ghosh sought permission to file an application to get the copy of the FIR.
