Guwahati/IBNS: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma Thursday sent a letter to his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee requesting her intervention for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Faizan Ahmed, an IIT Kharagpur student from Tinsukia, Assam.

Faizan Ahmed, an IIT Kharagpur third-year mechanical engineering student from Assam’s Tinsukia district, was found dead in his hostel room on Oct 14.

His parents have filed a case with the local police in Kharagpur requesting the Superintending of Police, Paschim Medinipur and the Inspector-in-charge of Kharagpur (Town) Police Station for an investigation.

In view of this, Sarma sent a request letter to his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee for her intervention to carry out a thorough investigation to unearth the truth leading to the death of the student whose "untimely death has caused a deep sense of grief across the state".
