in Kolkata, the letter carries signatures of both Rizwanur Rahman and Priyanka Todi.



Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister on Friday announced that he was winding up the judicial inquiry into the case even before a single witness could testify.



“When I found that the CBI is seriously inquiring into the case and when Rizwan’s family wants only a CBI probe, we have thought it fit to withdraw the judicial inquiry as it may overlap. It is not desirable,” Bhattacharjee told reporters.



Asked whether his government was being repeatedly compelled to retrace its steps, he claimed, “The government was not jolted. I had to consult the administrative as well as political and legal opinion. And, we have a policy-making process.”
