KOLKATA,
AUG.13.
The stage is set for the execution at 4.30 a.m. tomorrow of Dhananjoy Chatterjee, 42, sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a fourteen-year old girl in Kolkata in March 1990. Security at the Alipore Central Correctional Home, where he is to be hanged, has been strengthened.
A public interest litigation petition for staying the execution of the death sentence was today rejected by a division Bench of the Calcutta High Court comprising the acting Chief Justice, A.N. Ray, and Justice A.K. Mitra. The petitioner was advocate Sridhar Bagari.
Chatterjee is reported to have expressed to his brother the wish that his eyes and kidneys be donated to the Government after his death.
His family members have said that they would not collect the body. In their absence, the jail authorities will arrange for his last rites.
Policemen have also been posted outside Chatterjee's home in Kuldihi in Bankura district, an official at Writers' Buildings said.
