Calcutta, Aug. 4 :    Calcutta, Aug. 4:  After his abduction at gunpoint from Tiljala, Khadim's vice-chairman Parthapratim Roy Burman was kept for eight days in a dimly-lit room. In the first revelations of the kidnap that shook the state, the shoe baron told doctors today that he could not see his captors because of the poor light. Nor could he hear them as they spoke in soft voices, he added. From the snatches of conversation that a 'significantly recovering' Roy Burman has had with his doctors, it seems 'the room was not in a hut or small cottage-type building', according to Woodlands Hospital medical director S.K. Sen. The doctors had asked him what sort of medication he had been given, to which he replied that his kidnappers had not told him and that whenever they spoke they were out of earshot. This is the first time that Roy Burman has shed any light on the condition he was kept in since he was kidnapped on July 25. 'They did not handle him roughly. He was not pushed around,' Sen said after talking to him today, two days after the businessman was freed. Roy Burman has also revealed that he was in a stupor for most of the time. 'This could have been because of his tiredness, or it could have been because of the medicine that he was given,' Sen said. 'From what he has told us, and from what we have surmised on examining him, he was given some sort of medical attention on the first day itself. The plaster cast was not done professionally, however. It could have been done by an operation theatre technician or helper. But he is very vague about it.' Roy Burman was well a day after his left arm was operated on. A second, and major, operation has been scheduled for Tuesday at 11.30 am. 'We will have to cut and bring out the nerves in his left upper arm to see the extent of damage to them,' the doctor said. 'He has had food and is fully conscious. The doctors have seen him and are satisfied with his condition. We could have allowed him to be interrogated today, but police have not made any inquiries,' Sen said. A police official, however, said Roy Burman's family does not want him to be questioned now. 'They want him to fully recover before we can approach him,' he said. The CID, on the other hand, fears that local contacts of the gang behind the abduction could still try to intimidate the family. 'We are keeping a strict vigil,' an official said. Raids were con ducted overnight at Arjunpur, Baguiati, Kazipara and pockets of Dum Dum. A CPM councillor of South Dum Dum municipality was also questioned. Tiljala businessman Md Taslim alias Chunnu, who is now in police custody, has disclosed some names, on the basis of which a CID team picked up seven persons, including a woman.
