EXCLUSIVE | CJ Roy death case: Was it the IT query or something else? Full details revealed

NewsFirst accesses exclusive details that rule out IT interrogation as the reason behind businessman CJ Roy’s extreme step, even as investigators examine other possible factors.

The sudden death of Confident Group founder Dr CJ Roy has shaken the business world. While speculation linked his tragic step to fear of IT scrutiny, exclusive NewsFirst sources confirm that the Income Tax (IT) questioning was routine and not the cause.

Roy, who maintained strong relations with several leading businessmen, was approached by IT officials yesterday. Investigators have confirmed that the officials sought information regarding two specific transactions that had raised questions. These inquiries also included details of large-scale fund transfers involving hundreds of crores, as well as information about a joint business venture with a politician.

Sources clarified that the IT officers were focused strictly on financial and business details. This included verification of fund movements and the structure of certain high-value transactions. Officials also asked for clarity on business dealings with a politician, specifically regarding the joint development projects.

CJ Roy, known for his experience in handling multiple previous IT inquiries, was not intimidated or pressured by the officers. Investigators stress that he had cooperated with authorities on past occasions, making it highly unlikely that the questioning itself led to his suicide.

Police have taken custody of Roy’s mobile phone and other critical documents, examining calls, messages, and emails for any clue about his state of mind in the hours leading up to his death. Financial records and transaction trails are also under scrutiny to determine whether any undisclosed pressures existed.

With this exclusive information, it is now clear that the IT questioning was procedural, focusing on high-value transaction and business verification, and not aggressive or threatening. The mystery of what truly prompted CJ Roy’s fatal decision remains under investigation, awaiting further forensic and technical analyses.
