IIT Kharagpur student was stabbed and shot, reveals report 2 years after death

Two years after Faizan Ahmed, a 23-year-old mechanical engineering student at IIT-Kharagpur, was found in a semi-decomposed state in the university's dormitory in the Paschim Medinipur district of West Bengal, a recent forensic report claims that the student was brutally murdered. According to the Calcutta High Court's order, the second autopsy was conducted.

Ahmed's father, who was from Dibrugarh in Assam, had petitioned the high court to form a special investigation team (SIT) to investigate Ahmed's death and ascertain its cause. According to a second forensic report, he was shot and stabbed before passing away.

Faizan had a gunshot wound on the upper left side of his neck and a stab wound on the right side, according to the second forensic report written by Dr. A.K. Gupta, as reported by ThePrint. ThePrint reported that the report also notes that neither during the police's initial investigation nor on October 15, 2022, during the first postmortem at Midnapore Medical College, videography of these specific injuries was done.
