New Delhi: CPI(M) leader Sushanto Ghosh is set to walk free from Alipore Central jail in Kolkata on Tuesday. He was jailed in August last year after 7 skeletons were recovered from near his ancestral house in West Midnapore.
The Supreme Court granted him interim bail last week.
Ghosh has been in custody since August 11 last year after his arrest by the state CID for his alleged complicity in the murder of Ajay Acharya, whose son filed an FIR following discovery of his skeleton from a pit.
Seven skeletons were dug out from a pit in a field near Ghosh's ancestral house at Benachapra in West Medinipur district. DNA tests proved that one of the skeletons was that of Acharya. In the FIR, Shyamal Acharya named Ghosh as one of the key accused.
He alleged that his father had been murdered along with the other six, all Trinamool Congress supporters, in September 2002 and their bodies were buried.
Ghosh has maintained that it is a politically-motivated case and was filed after a change in the government in the State.
