In the full text of its verdict on the Bishwajit Das murder case, the High Court offered an unflattering reflection on the current trends in student politics as well as the criminal justice system.

The High Court yesterday upheld the death sentence of two BCL men, commuted that of four to life term and acquitted two in the case over the gruesome killing of Bishwajit Das.

Family members of Bishwajit were surprised at the High Court verdict and expressed frustration as the court upheld the death penalty of only two condemned killers.

HC upholds death for two, commutes penalty of four and acquits two others – all of whom were sentenced to death by a lower court in the sensational Bishwajit murder case.

For the parents of Bishwajit, the past five years have been agonising.
