Murder charge against Mukul Roy

The West Bengal CID has named BJP vice-president Mukul Roy in the third supplementary chargesheet in the 2019 murder of Krishnaganj TMC MLA Satyajit Biswas, prompting Roy to label it as yet another instance of “vendetta politics”. The CID, in its six-page supplementary chargesheet, accused Roy of being one of the “conspirators” in the murder. “He (Roy) was among the conspirators in Biswas’s murder. He has been charged under Sections 302 and 120B of the IPC,” said assistant public prosecutor Pradip Pramanik. Investigating officers named BJP Ranaghat MP Jagannath Sarkar as an accused in an earlier chargesheet submitted this September. Roy, however, called the chargesheet “biased”.
