AGARTALA, April 25 (TIWN): After denying CBI investigation in Rose-Valley Chit fund scam for years, under Ex-CM Manik Sarkar’s Chief Ministry finally the CPI-M could not escape to face the CBI ! CBI has entered MLA hostel at 2.45 pm to question CPI-M Ex-Minister Bijita Nath following her alleged involvement in Rose Valley Chit Fund scam, which looted 14 lakhs people's money from the tiny state Tripura. Since the morning media eyes were focused at the MLA hostel and along with Bijita Nath, MLA Badal Choudhury and another CPI-M leader Manik Dey were also were seen entering in the MLA hostel. At first it was said according to CBI's notice that at Dharmanagar residence of Bijita Nath, CBI will interrogate her, but like everytime CBI has given another surprise by changing the location. Before the CBI interrogation, Bijita Nath said, “I will fully cooperate with CBI during questioning”.

Securities were tightened since the morning at the MLA hostel. Police, SDM and high officials are present inside the MLA hostel.

But amid opposition’s constant demand of CBI investigation in Rose Valley chit fund scam, the CPI-M Govt never asked for CBI. On 2013, 12th May Chit fund reports were sent to CBI. Among all the cases, 3 were Rose Valley cases with the Case No. under West PS 140/2013 the amount was shown as Rs. 5,400/-, whereas in the Case No.  141 /2013 the whole amount was shown as only Rs. 10,000/- whereas in Case No. 132/ 2013 “No amount” was sent. Thus in total the amount came with only 15,4000/- which CBI said “it’s too minimum to come under CBI.

Most interesting matter is that the 3rd Case i.e. Case No. 132/2013 was actually done by Tripura Govt. whereas other cases were doing by private lawyers”, said Nath.

Later the Case No. 132/2016 which was shown with zero balance, after proper investigation it came out with Rs. 97 crores 84 lakhs under West PS.
