Rejecting the charges, Roy said that there was no question of not cooperating in this case, as an officer who investigates criminal cases under the CrPC is answerable only to the court.
An officer from the Crime Branch said, “About two weeks ago, we received a letter from the BCCI asking the investigating officer to appear before the two-member panel comprising former judges T Jayaram Chouta and R Balasubramanian. BCCI is a private body and we are not bound to submit our confidential evidence before any other inquiry panel, unless it is formed by the court.”
