A major shock has hit the business and real estate sector after the reported suicide of Dr. C.J. Roy, Chairman and Founder of the Confident Group, in Bengaluru. According to initial reports, Dr. Roy allegedly shot himself at his residence while the Income Tax Department was conducting raids at the Confident Group’s office on Richmond Road. He was immediately taken to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival. Sources suggest that Dr. Roy was under significant mental stress due to continuous income tax scrutiny and questioning over the past few months. However, the police have stated that the investigation is still ongoing and all angles are being examined to determine the exact reason behind the incident. Ballistic and forensic teams have been deployed at the spot, and documents are being thoroughly checked. The police have registered a case of self-shooting based on preliminary findings, but they are also questioning people associated with Dr. Roy to rule out any other possible causes. The Income Tax Department’s role and the timing of the raid are also part of the investigation. Dr. C.J. Roy was a well-known name in Karnataka’s real estate and infrastructure sector. He founded the Confident Group in 2005, which later became a prominent company in the industry. His sudden death has raised serious questions and left the corporate world in shock.
