Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive for the CBI to investigate the murder of Rizwanur Rahman, emphasizing the necessity of treating the complaint by Rukbanur Rahman as an FIR under Section 154 of the CrPC. The Court noted that the circumstances surrounding the death, including threats made by the family of Priyanka Todi, warranted a fresh investigation. The ruling reinforced the principle that all complaints alleging serious offenses must be thoroughly investigated to uphold justice.
