“Be present in court along with the case diary”

The Calcutta High Court on Monday directed that the investigating officer be present in the court along with the 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 Mr. Roy taught and yet another by the headmaster of the school, had been filed before the Kandi police station.
