The Calcutta High Court while passing the order for exhumation of Faizan Ahmed's body had said a second post-mortem is "vital and necessary for arriving at the truth".
IIT-Kharagpur student Faizan Ahmed's body was exhumed today in Assam for the second autopsy, after several loopholes were pointed out by a court-appointed expert in the first one.As ordered by the Calcutta High Court last month, Faizan's body was taken to Kolkata by a team of West Bengal police - where his second autopsy will be conducted.
The 23-year-old student's father raised objections over the presence of IIT-Kharagpur officials at the burial ground in Assam's Dibrugarh.
"We were told some professors from IIT came here. Why did they come? What is their objective we don't know. We are doubtful about their presence," he told reporters.
Faizan Ahmed was found dead in a hostel room on the campus premises on October 14 last year. The college authorities had said it was a case of suicide, but the family had alleged that he had been killed.
