Mukul Roy named in TMC MLA murder case

The West Bengal CID has named BJP's national vice-president Mukul Roy as a conspirator in its chargesheet filed in the murder case of Trinamool Congress MLA Satyajit Biswas in Nadia district.The agency filed a supplementary chargesheet at the ACJM court in Ranaghat on Saturday."Mukul Roy has been named as an accused. Total five persons have been named in the chargesheet so far. It includes Mukul Roy and BJP MP Jagannath Sarkar," Roy's lawyer Suman Roy said.Mukul Roy, who was questioned by the CID in March, has been granted anticipatory bail by the Calcutta High Court.

Reacting to the development, Mukul Roy said, "I have 44 cases against me. I am not worried. They cannot arrest me. But I want to ask who is the police minister of West Bengal? It is at Chief Minister's insistence that my name has been put in the chargesheet? I have full faith in the judiciary." Mukul Roy is the second high profile BJP leader named in this case so far.Earlier, BJP MP from Ranaghat Jagannath Sarkar was also named in a chargesheet by the state agency. Sarkar has already been questioned by the CID several times in connection with the murder.

Trinamool Congress MLA from Krishnaganj assembly constituency, Satyajit Biswas was shot dead in Nadia district on February 9 last year. Terming it a conspiracy to suppress the Opposition in Bengal, BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya tweeted, "Mamata Banerjee's conspiracy continues. The false murder chargesheet on Mukul Roy shows how she is trying to suppress the opposition by her conspiracy. When Mamata Banerjee herself is a guest for few days, what's going to happen after this, she should think about it."
