Iterating that BJP<\/a> leader and Hemtabad MLA Debendra Nath Roy was \u201cmurdered\u201d, the saffron party on Tuesday said it had no faith in the post-mortem report, which stated that the \u201clegislator died due to hanging and no injury mark was found on his body\u201d.<\/p>\n

Calling for a CBI probe into the case, Rahul Sinha, the national secretary of the BJP, said the police and the administration were trying to \u201cproject the murder as suicide\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state police and the administration want to cover up the matter. The post-mortem report called the murder a suicide. We have no confidence in this report. The state should either hand over the investigation to the CBI or order a judicial probe under the supervision of a sitting judge of the high court,\u201d Sinha said.<\/p>\n

The Hemtabad MLA\u2019s body was found hanging from the ceiling of a verandah outside a shuttered shop near his home in Bindal village of North Dinajpur district on Monday.<\/p>\n

Police said a suicide note was found in his shirt\u2019s pocket where he blamed two people for his death. Ray\u2019s family and the BJP, however, claimed he was \u201cmurdered by the TMC\u201d, a charge denied by the ruling party in the state.<\/p>\n

Ray had won the Hemtabad (reserved) seat on a CPI(M) ticket in 2016 but later joined the BJP. He had, however, not quit his assembly seat.<\/p>\n

BJP supporters clashed with police and pelted stones at buses during a 12-hour bandh called by the party in north Bengal on Tuesday over the unnatural death of the BJP leader.<\/p>\n

A BJP delegation also met President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday and demanded dismissal of the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal and a CBI probe into Ray\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
