State government has investigated the death of Debendra Nath Roy at State CID (File)
Kolkata:
Friday, the wife of BJP MP, Debendra Nath Roy, filed a motion in the Calcutta High Court, requesting an CBI investigation into his death, alleging that her husband had been murdered.
The Hemtabad MP, who, according to West Bengal police, died by suicide, was found on Monday morning hanging from a bamboo pole at a store about one kilometer from his home in the village of Bindal, in the North Dinajpur district.
Chandima Roy alleged that the murder of her husband was a planned murder and requested an investigation by a central agency, preferably by the CBI, said his lawyer Brajesh Jha.
The petition was filed online and the court was asked to hear the case quickly, said Jha.
The judicial and administrative work of the Calcutta High Court was suspended until July 19 by Chief Justice TBN Radhakrishnan due to a new phase of locking up the containment areas in Kolkata and its suburbs.
The petitioner claimed that the state police had concluded Roy’s suicide even before the autopsy report was published, and also questioned his findings.
The West Bengal government has handed over the investigation into Roy’s death to the state CID.
