However, the first post-mortem report of 23-year-old Assam boy Faizan Ahmed could not establish the cause of the death.

In fact no poisonous substance was detected inside Faizan’s body nor was hanging mark noticed around his neck.
Following this the Calcutta high court ordered a second autopsy of Faizan’s body.
Faizan’s body was exhumed from a graveyard at Dibrugarh in Assam and flown to the Calcutta medical college hospital.
The second autopsy of Faizan’s body was performed on May 27.
Furthermore, the IIT-Kharagpur authorities were denied to view the report of second autopsy of Faizan Ahmed, as the institute may end up as accused.
The second autopsy report of Faizan Ahmed establishes that there was profuse bleeding from injuries in the head and chest.
