In a shocking development, CJ Roy, the founder and chairman of prominent real estate firm Confident Group, was discovered deceased at his office in Bengaluru on Friday, as confirmed by local police authorities.
Police Investigation Points Towards Possible Suicide
Law enforcement officials have indicated that the preliminary assessment suggests this may be a case of suicide, although the final verdict will only be established following a comprehensive post-mortem examination. The incident has sent ripples through the business community, given Roy's stature in the real estate sector.
Details of the Tragic Incident
According to police reports, Roy sustained fatal bullet injuries from his licensed firearm within his office premises located near Richmond Circle in Bengaluru. This has led investigators to suspect that he may have taken his own life by shooting himself.
Eyewitness accounts reveal that after a gunshot was heard echoing through the office, concerned staff members immediately rushed to his room. They found him lying in a pool of blood, prompting swift action to transport him to a nearby hospital for emergency medical attention.
Unfortunately, despite the rapid response, doctors at the hospital declared him dead upon arrival, confirming the tragic outcome of the incident.
Income Tax Department Searches Precede the Event
Adding a layer of complexity to the situation, it has emerged that earlier on the same day, the Income Tax Department reportedly conducted searches at Roy's premises. The timing of these searches, occurring just before his death, has sparked speculation and raised questions about potential connections, though authorities have not yet linked the two events officially.
The police are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding Roy's death, with a focus on gathering evidence and statements from witnesses. The real estate industry and local community are left in mourning, reflecting on the loss of a key figure in Bengaluru's property market.
