Mamata Banerjee writes to President Kovind in Defense for Murder of BJP MLA | Capital TV

The investigation into the death of Debendranath Roy, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmaker from Hemtabad in Bengal’s North Dinajpur district, took a new turn on Wednesday afternoon when the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the state police charged Niloy Singh, an acquaintance of Roy, with murder. The development came hours after chief minister Mamata Banerjee wrote to President Ram Nath Kovind, saying the BJP was “distorting facts” about the death. Roy won the reserved Hemtabad seat on a Communist Party of India (Marxist) ticket in 2016 and joined the BJP in 2019. Banerjee’s letter said it was a case of suspected suicide and had links with monetary transactions. #BJPMLAMurder #MamtaBanerjee #DebendraNathRay #CapitalTV #CapitalTVOnline For advertisements e-mail us on [email protected] Follow us for regular updates Facebook:   / capitaltvindia   Twitter:   / capitaltvindia
