AGARTALA, October 18 (TIWN): New suspense revealed out in the multi crore scam of Bishalgarh R.D. Block. Till now the police is unable to arrest any of the accused persons who are related the multi crore scam including Scamster Bimal. According to multiple sources, Scamster Bimal is in the state and he is staying somewhere in A.D. Nagar in a relative's home. It was reported that the police knows everything but they are unable to perform their duty as per the law due to the involvement of bigheads of the CPIM party directly or indirectly in the multicrore scam of Bishalgarh R.D. Block.

At present the police are trying to hide all the evidences which they managed to discover during the raids due to the high level political influence, the source added.

Most surprisingly, though Bimal Chakraborty is ‘absconding’ for the past few days, he has not been suspended yet putting a question mark on the role of investigating agency. Interestingly, no one was arrested in connection with the Rs. 17 crore scam at Bishalgarh RD Block even after spending considerable time.

Under instruction from top brass, the incumbent Block Development Officer (BDO) of Bishalgarh, Subrata Das, registered an FIR against his predecessor and incumbent Assistant Director of Information Department, Bimal Chakraborty and 11 others, the source mentioned. The alleged scam in MGNREGA fund and a few other Central flagship projects have occurred during past two financial years, according to the report of State audit bureau. Police registered a case in this issue (Case no-135/14) under section 409 of IPC.

A highly placed source inside Melarmath said that," In the recently concluded state committee meeting of CPI(M) , a section of Melarmath Think Tank also demanded that CBI probe should be ordered in the Rs 17 crore MGNREGA scam. As expected Chief Minister Manik Sarkar denied such probability. But what is more interesting outcome of this meeting is that in spite of a landslides victory in 2013 Assembly Election, many leaders expressed their doubt as to whether the party will be able retain its power in 2018 as scams, rapes, tortures against women, Dadagiri of a section of leaders and acute crisis in basic amenities in recent times have risen at an alarming rate.

 Moreover, leaders have also expressed their concern that MGNREGA scam is now a hot topic in the state purely due to non-functioning of police as the prime accused is Chief Minister's close." The source also added that this was probably the first time that state leaders expressed their doubts over the attitude of Chief Minister Manik Sarkar in the last 10 years especially after his seemingly weak attitude shown towards Bimal Chakraborty.
