The Indian Border Security Force has decided to hold a revision trial of the Felani killing case.
“The competent authority of Border Security Force has decided to hold a revision trial in Ms Felani Khatun death case,” said a press release issued by the BSF Friday.
The self-confessed killer of the 15-year-old Bangladeshi girl, BSF Constable Amiya Ghosh, was acquitted and pronounced not guilty by a quasi-judicial court of the force on September 6.
“The competent authority has not agreed with the findings of Court and has decided to hold revision trial in the instant case,” the press release said.
“The trial court found the accused Ct Amiya Ghosh ‘not guilty’ and pronounced findings on 06.09.2013. As per BSF Act and Rules, proceedings were reviewed by legal experts,” it added.
Meanwhile, on Monday, the foreign ministry formally expressed its “utter frustration” to the Indian authorities over the verdict in Felani murder case.
At a press briefing on Thursday, Foreign Minister Dipu Moni said the government would appeal against the verdict if justice was not prevailed.
