So far, we did not find anything suspicious. We have asked Roy to check with his family at Kolkata whether he has forgotten the money at home. So far, no arrest has been made,” said an officer of Bandra police station.Police said Roy checked into the hotel on Wednesday for a business meeting with his friend, Anshuman Gusa. In his complaint, Roy said that while he, Gusa, singer Anjan Guha, Nisha Chatterjee and another woman were in the room, he asked Gusa to open his travel bag and get his medicine. The bag remained partially open afterwards. Around the same time, two hotel staffers entered the room — one to activate the Wi-Fi and the other to serve drinking water — and left.Roy said they later went to the hotel’s 25th-floor lobby before leaving to meet a doctor in Bandra.
