Kerala's ruling CPI(M) and opposition UDF leaders have called for a thorough probe into the death of Confident Group chairman C.J. Roy. Roy died on Friday afternoon at his Bengaluru office during an Income Tax department raid. Police said he shot himself. CPI(M) state secretary M.V. Govindan told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram that central agencies should act more humanely. He questioned why the raid continued even after Roy's death. Rajya Sabha MP A.A. Rahim posted on Facebook, "It should also be investigated whether Roy was a victim of the pressure tactics used by central agencies." Opposition leader V.D. Satheesan said there is a "mystery" behind the death and called for an investigation. He added, "It is not clear what kind of harassment he faced at the hands of the IT officials." Celeb Mohanlal also expressed grief in a Facebook post saying, "The loss of my dear friend C.J. Roy feels unreal and deeply painful. My heart goes out to his family in this time of immense grief. He was more than a friend, he will always be remembered with love and warmth." Roy's brother Babu alleged that the businessman may have taken his life due to pressure from the central agency. He repeated these claims to reporters in Bengaluru. The incident has sparked demands for clarity and justice from different quarters.
