GUWAHATI, Feb 27 - A team of Dibrugarh Police today quizzed former Congress Minister Gautam Roy for more than four hours on his role in the cash-for-jobs scam in the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC).
Roy has again been asked to appear before the investigating officer again on�March 18�for further questioning.
A few hours after Roy was allowed to leave, investigators went on to file the up-to-date status report of the ongoing investigation before the Court of Special Judge, Assam here.
After receipt of the status report in a sealed envelope from the investigating officer Surjeet Singh Panesar, the Court fixed�February 28 (tomorrow) as the date for passing the appropriate order in the matter.
Earlier, Roy was grilled at the Special Operation Unit (SOU) police station at the Assam Police�s Special Branch headquarters here by the investigating team from�11 am, after which his statements were recorded.
Sources divulged that Roy has been summoned again to corroborate facts and circumstances.�
When contacted, Special Public Prosecutor Bijon Kumar Mahajan told this reporter that Roy has been brought within the ambit of investigation and as the investigation is at a very nascent stage, it would be premature to comment any further.
�He has of course been asked to appear before the investigating office on�March 18�again. At this point of time, it is difficult to state whether he is a witness or an accused. Only time will tell,� Mahajan said.
Roy, meanwhile, refrained from speaking anything before the media after coming out from the SB headquarters at Kahilipara.
