Dhananjoy Chatterjee's family on Wednesday said they would neither witness his hanging, scheduled for Saturday, nor collect the body afterwards.

His father Bangshidar, who was on Wednesday officially notified of the date of the execution by the Bankura district administration, said, "We will not see our son being hanged. We are also not interested in collecting his body."

Bangshidar, his wife Belarani and daughter-in-law Poornima stopped taking food and water since they learnt of the execution date on Tuesday, police said.

Bankura Police Superintendent Anil Kumar said a watch was being kept on the family, with policemen deployed around the house.

Dhananjoy had been convicted and sentenced to death for raping and murdering a 14-year-old schoolgirl, Hetal Parekh, at her Bhowanipore residence in the metropolis in 1990.
