AGARTALA, September 13 (TIWN): TIWN investigation team found that even Minister Tapan Chakraborty, Secretary, Director were scared to take any steps against cashier Arnab Chakraborty even after the show cause notices issued by Addl Director Dilip Debbarma on 21st July, 2014 and Joint Director Manabendra Chakraborty on 5th August . Police investigation in Arnab Chakraborty's case has already revealed a scam of more than Rs 5 crore, which may even cross 10 crores in coming days. A top level police official told TIWN on Friday night, " Many cheques with fake signatures have been found which Arnab tried to produce before various banks. Presently special audit is going on Centrally sponsored RMSA fund but we haven’t got any status report yet."

However, Arnab is still absconding as the police official said," He is not in Tripura and accordingly we are in touch with a couple of states' police to arrest him. Hopefully he will be under the grip of police." It is to be mentioned that on 5th September Joint Director Manabendra Chakraborty lodged an FIR in West P S (Case no 156/14) against School Education Department's Cashier Arnab Chakraborty ( forgery and misappropriation of govt fund) under section 403/468/471/471(A)/409 of IPC.

     However, from very beginning police found that even before the case was lodged, Arnab flew from Tripura. And now as Arnab and none of his family members are found in their residence located at Resham Began area, police ultimately sealed the house. As of now the total investigation is suddenly shifted towards Arnab.

But what about the CM & CS books scam in same RMSA/ Education Dept ? On June 2 , 2014 Deputy Secretary D K Debbarma of School Education department vide No.F.19(38)-SE/RMSA/202(Loose) issued an instruction to all 8 DEOs to procure books written by Chief Minister and Chief Secretary from Annual Grant provided to 839 schools from Annual Grant 2013-14. But TRIPURAINFOWAY.com is the first in the state to expose another huge scam(Arnab Chakraborty issue) and on 5th September case was lodged against him. Now several questions remain unanswered:-

1) Who has been Arnab's Godfather over the years? An ordinary cashier cannot do this massive level of forgery of multiple crores without the blessings of top bosses ?

2) Why Director P K Chakraborty did not take any action against Arnab when D K Debbarma issued 'Show Cause' notice against Arnab and Joint Director suggested to initiative Departmental Procedure(DP) against him?

3) It is known to even the Minister that Arnab was indulged with huge financial scam but why he too remained silent?

4) Why did the Director P K Chakraborty transfer Arnab from RMSA to Grant-in-Aid section in the first week of September?

5) Whose vested interest is linked with Arnab so that no legal action was not taken against him when he was in Tripura?

6) Why has none of the Department dared to initiate any departmental proceedings against him? Where from instructions came not to start the such?

7) Is the present investigation sufficient? Does SED really want truth to be revealed?
