Sheikh Mafik, the father of a local activist, died under circumstances that have attracted attention from both the judiciary and the police. The Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court has begun a formal probe into the incident, signalling the seriousness with which the court views the matter.
Bengal police officials have responded by calling the claims made by the activist’s group "false". According to police statements, the death was a natural occurrence and no foul play was involved.
The CJP has ordered a detailed investigation to ascertain the exact circumstances of Sheikh Mafik’s death. Both the judiciary and the police are expected to present their findings in the coming weeks.
The case has drawn public scrutiny, with community members and activists urging a transparent inquiry. The legal proceedings will determine whether any further action is required.
