The Apex Court of India has directed Ashok Todi, prime accused in the Rizwanur Rehman murder case, to surrender by December 1.

The SC has also stayed his arrest till the surrender deadline.

CBI had filed charge sheet against Industrialist Ashok Todi, along with six others for alleged abetment of suicide of his son-in-law Rizwan.

A Metropolitan Magistrate in Kolkata had asked him and other accused to appear before it on October 27. But he failed to abide by the order and a NBW was issued against him.

Todi moved to Supreme Court challenging the order of the Kolkata court on Nov 7.

Rizwanur's body was found on railway tracks on September 21, 2007. He had married Todi's daughter Priyanka on August 18 last year.
