Hours after Trinamool Congress leader Mukul Roy’s son Subhranshu Roy claimed on Monday that he was untraceable, the MLA reportedly arrived in Delhi. Reacting to the development, Subhranshu said Tuesday that some people were indulging in “petty politics” and trying to take advantage of his father’s ill health.

A video which has emerged on social media, purportedly shot by a journalist, showed Roy wearing a white kurta-pyjama and talking to a man who came to receive him at the airport. The Indian Express could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.

Speaking at Delhi airport, Roy said he was in the National Capital for some work. “I come to Delhi very often and this time too I have come. I have some work in Delhi. I have not come for any medical check-up,” said the 69-year-old.

Prodded further, the senior politician who had defected to the BJP in 2017 and returned to the TMC fold after the 2021 West Bengal Assembly polls, said, “I have not come here for any special political reason. I have come for special work. Can’t I come to Delhi? I am the MLA… (was) MP here.”

The video emerged after Roy’s son Subhranshu claimed that the senior TMC leader was untraceable and informed the state police. “Till now I am unable to contact my father. He is untraceable,” he said on Monday.

However, after learning that Roy may have taken a flight from Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Subhranshu Roy, a former TMC MLA, filed a complaint with the airport police authorities and urged them to deboard Roy if he was on any aircraft.
