💨 Abstract

The Calcutta High Court has ordered a fresh investigation into the deaths of four undertrial prisoners in South 24 Parganas district in 2023, directing the West Bengal CID's additional director general to nominate an officer of higher rank than an inspector. The court was not satisfied with the initial report prepared by an inspector and deemed it necessary for a senior CID officer to lead the investigation as the allegations are against police officials.
