West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said that a special investigation team (SIT) will be formed to probe student leader Anish Khan's "mysterious" death that has sparked widespread protests by opposition parties.
Ms. Banerjee, who also holds the Home (Police) portfolio, said that the SIT will submit its report to her within 15 days.
She also claimed that the former Left leader, who later joined the Indian Secular Front, used to keep in touch with her party, the Trinamool Congress.
"We are forming an SIT which will be set up by the Chief Secretary under the DGP and it will also comprise the CID," she told a press conference at State Secretariat, Nabanna.
Asserting that the investigation will be impartial, she said that action will be taken against anyone found to be involved in the death of Khan.
