Roy was found dead under mysterious circumstances. His body was found hanging from a ceiling outside a closed shop near his home at Bindal village in Hemtabad area of North Dinajpur district on July 13.

"We demand CBI inquiry into Roy's death so that the truth comes out. The CID investigation is a farce as they are trying to hush up the matter by calling it a suicide," Ghosh said at a condolence meet at Hemtabad.

"If he (Roy) had committed suicide as claimed by the police and the post mortem report, then why is the police arresting so many people? There are a lot of questions which need to be answered," he said.

Roy's family and BJP had alleged that it was a "cold-blooded murder by TMC".

The police, however, quoting post-mortem report had said that Roy had died due to hanging and no other injury mark was found on his body. PTI BSM PNT KK KK 08102001 NNNNn Thursday in the last eight.

The quarterfinals start on Wednesday with Atalanta facing Paris Saint-Germain. The other one-game series will involve Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich on Friday and Manchester City vs. Lyon on Saturday.

The matches will take place at two stadiums in Lisbon.

Earlier this week Atlético had to cancel a friendly of its women's team after a positive test within the group.

Atlético said that, after the Spanish league season had ended, the club asked for all Spanish teams still involved in European competitions to keep voluntarily following the league's health safety protocols.

It said UEFA only required one negative test from each member of the group within 72 hours of the trip to Lisbon, but the team had been testing its members weekly and was still working with the health safety inspector assigned by the Spanish league.

Atlético said a total of 93 people had been tested the day before the squad returned to training on July 26, and the first team and those in close contact with it were tested again last Sunday, with all results coming back negative.

Atlético is seeking its first title in Europe's most lucrative club competition. It lost the 2014 and 2016 Champions League finals to city rival Real Madrid. It was also runner-up in 1974, losing to Bayern Munich.
