- On January 30, 2026, Dr Chiriankandath Joseph Roy, founder and chairperson of the Confident Group, died by suicide in Bengaluru during Income Tax Department searches at his Langford Road office.
- Repeated I-T enforcement actions against the Confident Group included raids and document seizures from Kochi months ago amid ongoing tax-evasion cases and legal battles in Karnataka courts.
- A licensed firearm was recovered, staff at the office-cum-bungalow found Roy bleeding, and he was rushed to Narayana Multispecialty Hospital, HSR Layout, where he was declared dead.
- Authorities caution it is premature to link the I-T searches to the death as Ashok Nagar police registered a case, with Scene of Crime Officers and FSL team examining the site and a post-mortem planned.
- Roy had built a large, diversified real-estate group since 2005, leading Confident Group with around 200 projects across Bengaluru, Kerala and the United Arab Emirates , while also engaging in film productions and TV sponsorships.
