AGARTALA, March 19 (TIWN): Contrary to Pre-Election promises of immediate CBI investigation into Rose Valley Chit Fund Scam after forming Government, Tripura public quite stunned by CM Biplab Deb’s hobnobbing with CPI-M kingpins in Melarmath, touching Manik Sarkar to others feet for blessings, followed by appointment of top grade CPI-M cadre cum TPS officer Dilip Ray into OSD’s post as right hand of Chief Minister, who is close relative of Gautam Das – a man who is not only CPI-M spokesman, Daily Desher Katha Chief Editor but also head of CPI-M’s all criminal activities including mafia operations, smuggling incomes, land grabbing shareholder & Chief patron of various dubious Chit-Fund companies – I-Core, Rose Valley, Sarada, Basil International to many other Kolkata based CPI-M backed Chit Fund companies.

Rather than immediate CBI probe, Biplab Deb’s compromise with CPI-M’s corrupt elements raising doubt over BJP Govt’s stance over organized corruption.

Biplab Deb led BJP Govt must fulfill pre-poll promise of immediate CBI investigation into Rs 3500 crore Rose Valley Chit Fund Scam so that Gautam Das & CPI-M's 25 years cashpile can be unearthed.

Tripura BJP must learn a lesson from a stunning blow of 2 prestigious Assembly By-Poll seats in U.P as Saffron Party lost CM Yogi Adityanath  & Deputy CM’s decades old Gorakhpur & Phulpur seats. Biplab Deb led Tripura BJP Govt in a highly irresponsible manner appointed a most corrupt TPS officer into the post of OSD(officer on special duty) at State Secretariat without evaluating OSD Dilip Ray’s ties with CPI-M’s most corrupt & Rose Valley scamster Gautam Das. Dilip Ray’s past filled with allegations of DSP Kalyan Sarkar murder in 2002 and amassing wealth beyond the known sources of income as an ordinary TPS officer.

Dilip Ray’s Rs 1.1 crore palatial mansion under construction at Kargill Chowmuhani, Dhaleshwar raise eyebrows that from where this officer managed to amass this large amount of money for construction ? 

This 3 storied mansion with an underground floor is fitted with expensive stones and designer materials which is disproportionate to a TPS officer’s salary. Chief Minister Biplab Deb must order a vigilance probe and dismiss this tainted official from OSD post unless BJP Govt attracts undue media attention & public wrath for harboring CPI-M era’s corrupt officials.

Dilip Ray is married to CPI-M spokesman Gautam Das’s niece- so from an ordinary background, overnight Dilip Ray bagged TPS in 1998 (allegedly via backdoor corruption).

TPS officer Dilip Ray’s meagre Police Salary didn’t prevent this tainted official to construct an approx. Rs 1.1 crore Bunglow with luxary stones & materials at Kargill Chowmuhani, Dhaleswar area in Agartala which is a glaring example of CPI-M’s rampant corruption.

Dilip Ray’s corruption saga began when he was a SDPO posted in Dharmanagar in 2002 – from cross-border smuggling gangs to timber smugglers, extra income kept this official enriched.

In 22 March 2002, alongwith smugglers, Tripura and Manipur based millitants wanted a large lumpsum money in exchange of the kidnapped girl Nayank Agarwal from Shillong.

Rather than recovering the girl or killing militants, allegedly Dilip Ray led corrupt Police officials killed a honest DSP Kalyan Sarkar & 2 Police constables. However corrupt Police officials blamed the shooting as a crossfire, even though no militant or smuggler was not even seen on that fateful day of 22 March,2002.

In 2002, preliminary investigation into SDPO Dilip Ray led Police firing and subsequent killing of DSP (Intelligence)Kalyan Sarkar and 2 other Police officials on March 22,2002 pointed towards unholy nexus of a group of Tripura Police officials and Dharmanagar based smugglers.

Manik Sarkar led CPI-M Govt wasted no time in closing this case without investigation so that  Gautam Das’s own niece’s husband Dilip Ray’s criminal role remain unknown to public.

During this brutal killing of DSP Kalyan Sarkar by his own Police officials, eyewitnesses later accused Dilip Ray as the mastermind as there was heavy enemity between DSP Kalyan Sarkar and then SDPO Dilip Ray.

From sources it was found that in 2002, SDPO Dharmanagar was making good money from Dharmanagar based smugglers.

But honest Police officer DSP Kalyan Sarkar was a hurdle behind this nexus of smugglers and Police officials so a section of Tripura Police Officials finally eliminated DSP Kalyan Sarkar under the excuse of crossfire among security forces.

Dilip Ray’s selection as TPS officer was a highly questionable because during 1998, TPSC (Tripura Public Service Commission) under the Chairmanship of Suprasanna Chakraborty distributed TCS, TPS posts to all CPI-M family candidates.

Manik Sarkar’s close comrade Suprasanna Chakraborty’s era as TPSC Chairman was called a dark period with full of corruptions and rampant allotment of TCS, TPS grades to only CPI-M families. Dilip Ray’s TPS allotment also during 1998 era when CPI-M families appeared in TPSC exam for names sake but given these prime Civil Servant jobs.

From various Police officials, TIWN learnt that Dilip Ray heavily misused TSR forces during his stint as commandant – he forced TSR jawans to cut forest trees to curve sculptures which he showcased to Manik Sarkar as an artist genius for years.  Even Dilip Ray conducted an exhibition of his sculptures at Press Club.

From 2014, even in 2017 to help his another corrupt friend’s Quiz Competition, Dilip Ray engaged the whole TSR battalion illegally to make arrangements in Rabindra Bhavan.  Dozens of Police vehicles, hundreds of TSR forces were deployed in plainclothes to organize a Quiz competition.

Chief Minister Biplab Deb’s appointment of such a tainted officer as OSD shocked media and TCS, TPS officials Statewide.

In 3 days of appointment as OSD to CM, Dilip Ray already lined up CPI-M’s corrupt contractors, officials to greet Biplab Deb with garlands.

Question raises, how such a corrupt TPS officer and CPI-M spy made his entry into BJP Chief Minister’s inner circle at State Secretariat as OSD (Officer-on-Special Duty) ?

Apart from Dilip Ray, another CPI-M cadre and former SFI leader Nirmal Adhikary was given plum posting into CM’s inner circle.

Tripura expected a clean governance from BJP – but by posting such tainted CPI-M’s close coterie into sensitive posts, what Biplab Deb is signaling to Tripura public and media ?

What stopping Tripura CM to choose a clean and non-CPI-M official out of hundreds of serving IAS,IPS,TCS,TPS officers in State for OSD Post in Secretariat ?

Unless Tripura BJP Govt orders an immediate vigilance probe into Dilip Ray’s ill gotten wealth and DSP murder, public may doubt Biplab Deb led BJP Govt’s Poll promises to fight against CPI-M’s rampant 25 years corruption.

Major sections of State BJP functionaries are quite unhappy with Biplab Deb's style of functioning and hobnobbing with CPI-M's corrupt elements.

Chief Minister must order CBI investigation into Rose Valley Chit Fund scam, also should get a new OSD who is honest and a clean track record.

Days are not far when various wrongdoings by OSD Dilip Ray will start impacting Chief Minister's personal image as patronizer of corruption.
