CBI summoned Assam Cabinet minister Gautam Roy and his son, Rahul in connection with murder of a NRI Protul Chandra Deb. Protul Chandra Deb was the brother-in-law and political rival of Assam minister Gautam Roy.

Tarun Gogoi, Assam chief minister refused to remove his Cabinet minister Gautam Roy who was interrogated by the Central Bureau of Investigation in New Delhi in connection with abduction and murder of a NRI businessman Protul Chandra Deb in Assam. Tarun Gogoi said: "I am not aware if Mr Gautam Roy has been interrogated in any murder case by the CBI. What local media is alleging is not based on fact.".he said, "If Gautam Roy is chargesheeted by the CBI in the murder case, he will be removed from his post"

Before abduction, NRI Protul Chandra Deb wrote a letter to his family that he was facing harassment and threat to his life from the minister and his hired goondas. His daughter Dr Shipra Deb from UK, handed over the letter to senior Congress leaders and Central ministers who later forwarded it to the CBI. On the bases of this complaint, CBI summoned Assam Cabinet minister Gautam Roy and his son, Rahu

NRI businessman Protul Chandra Deb was abducted in March 2004 and Assam Govt. did nothing one year. After the pressure of his daughter Dr Shipra Deb and NRIs media, the centre Govt. handed over this case to CBI. CBI recovered his skeletal remains this year in the jungles in the Assam-Mizoram border. So far eight persons have been arrested who have taken part in the abduction.
