Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) issued an alert against the Todi family on Monday. CBI raided Rizwanur Rehman's father-in-law Ashok Todi's house to implement court order, but found him missing.
Now CBI has issued alert to Airports and Railways for Todi's lookout.
Earlier on Monday, a city court issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Ashok Todi, his brother Pradip Todi and brother-in-law Anil Saraogi who were allegedly involved in Rizwanur Rehman' s murder.
Rizwanur was found dead last year a month after his marriage to the Todi's daughter.
Seventh metropolitan magistrate Bhivas Chatterjee of the Metropolitan court in Kolkata issued the warrants saying their non-appearence despite summons was nothing but an attempt to drag on the proceedings.
The warrants were issued against Ashok Todi, his brother Pradip Todi and brother-in-law Anil Saraogi who did not appear before the court on Monday despite summons being issued against them.
The court sent another accused Moinuddin alias Pappu to judicial custody.
The court, however, extended the interim bail of IPS officer Ajay Kumar and two other officers of Kolkata Police, accused of threatening Rizwanur at the police headquarters after his marriage with Priyanka, Todi's daughter, while directing them to appear before it on November 3.
The judge rejected the bail prayer of Pappu, who surrendered before the court earlier in the day, and sent him to judicial custody till November 10.
The CBI in its chargesheet had alleged that Pappu had taken Rs 11 lakhs from the Todis to ensure that Priyanka, went back to her parents from the house of Rizwanur who was from a modest background.
All the seven accused were charged with abetment to suicide, criminal intimidation and conspiracy.
The CBI is investigating the case as per a direction of the Calcutta High Court on a plea by Rizwanur's mother Kishwar Jahan who had claimed that she did not have faith in the local police.

Meanwhile, in another development, an application by Kishwar Jahan for cancellation of bail to the three police officers was taken up by a vacation bench comprising Justice Amit Talukdar and Justice P S Dutta.
The bench directed the officers and the petitioner to file affidavits stating their respective positions and said that the matter would be taken up for hearing on November 5.
Rizwanur's body was found beside railway tracks, several kilometres from his home on September 21 last year, a month after his marriage to Priyanka.
It was alleged that the computer graphics teacher had been summoned to the Kolkata Police headquarters thrice and had been pressurised to send his wife back to her parents.
The CBI has chargesheeted IPS officer Ajay Kumar who was the then deputy commissioner of Kolkata Police (detective department), officers of the detective department Sukanti Chakraborty and Krishnendu Das, Ashok Todi, Pradip Todi, Anil Saraogi and Pappu on the charge of abatement to suicide, criminal intimidation and criminal conspiracy.
