Kolkata: PIL filed in Arjun Chowrasia death case in Calcutta High Court

Kolkata: A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was on Friday filed in the Calcutta High Court seeking its intervention into the " mysterious" death of a BJP activist Arjun Chowrasia, who was found hanging inside an abandoned Railway quarters in north Kolkata's Cossipore.

The PIL was moved by lawyer Subir Sanyal seeking judicial intervention into the unnatural death of the 26-year-old youth, a court report said as the matter was also mentioned before the division bench of Chief Justice Prakash Shrivastava and Justice Rajarshi Bharadwaj.

The bench also agreed to consider hearing of the petition on an early basis.

The advocate for the petitioner told the bench that the family members of the deceased did not perceive the death to be a case of suicide.

A prayer was made to prevent any post mortem examination of the deceased from being conducted without the presence of doctors from AIIMS, New Delhi.
