Mukul Roy at his Delhi residence after the questioning on Friday Picture by Prem SinghThe CBI on Sunday reconstructed what it described as the “scene of crime” in the Narada scam as the sleuths went to BJP leader Mukul Roy’s Elgin Road residence here, videographing the sequence based on arrested IPS officer S.M.H. Soon after, Roy accused chief minister Mamata Banerjee of conspiring to malign him and his party. Former railway minister Roy was then de facto Number Two of Trinamul in 2014, besides a Rajya Sabha member, when the Narada footage was purportedly recorded. “I have never been seen on camera accepting Narada funds…. There are instructions to somehow malign Mukul Roy, malign the BJP,” said Roy, who is apparently back on the CBI radar since the arrest of Meerza.
