The police on Wednesday recovered the body of the officer investigating the mysterious death of computer graphics teacher Rizwanur Rehman, from railway tracks at Mankundu station in Hooghly district of West Bengal.
Officer in-charge of Sheoraphuli GRP S Bhattacharya said that it was prima facie a case of suicide by Arindam Manna.

The police said that the head was severed from the body. The postmortem of the body was done at the Walsh hospital, Serampore.
