AGARTALA, December 6 (TIWN): The arrest of the scamster Arnab Chakroborty seems to have lead the story's end with police playing a negative role in the name of investigation. Except cashier Arnab Chakraborty, the kingpins connected with this scam are still roaming free. Now, the kingpins are trying to free Arnab from the trap of the police. Even after the lodging of FIR, except Arnab, other accused are roaming freely in broad day light. And on the other the police seem to have washed their hands and are on a race to protect the bigwigs of the scam. From Minister Chakraborty to many senior CPIM leaders, there are no dearth of scamster Arnab's patronizers in Tripura. Rs. 5 crore RMSA/Education scam seems to have its roots and branches spread very deep inside Education Dept and State secretariet. Probably Arnab was right when he said he is merely a skit in the entire saga of the corruption, the network of which is encompassing the big fishes in the state bureaucracy and Melarmath.

Under constant protests against the ongoing 'Scams Festival' State Govt and the ruling party CPI (M) seems to have bowed down and arrested Arnab Chakraborty.

Though officially Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, CPI (M) State Secretary Bijan Dhar have denied any involvement of CPI(M) party and its 'Brand man' Manik Sarkar in these scams or any of the accused persons, recent activities clearly send the message that State Govt. is highly concerned about all these ongoing scams. Putting the blame on opposition and media and terming the discoveries of multirole scams in different departments as the effort of 'Imperialists' may give the ruling party and its so called 'Brand Manik' dividends in cashing votes in the rural belts; But the power of truth is such that, someday it spills out spontaneously and no ruler however powerful cannot suppress truth.

However, the chargesheet submitted by the police also contains some loopholes. It is to be mentioned here, the Additional Mission Director of RMSA had filed an FIR against Treasurer Arnab Chakra borty for misappropriation of department’s fund at West Agartala police station on September 5, this year. Later, police had arrested the scamster Arnab from Kolkata on September 14. Thereafter, the police taken him to the custody as per Court’s order and interrogated him. During the investigation up to September 20, police came to know two names of Tripura State Co­operative Bank’s officers­ Sabita Debbarma and Monika Debbarma. Altogether 96 fraud cheques of RMSA were allegedly passed by them.

After the preliminary investigation, police found three names of RMSA­ Ambalika Data, Dilip Kumar Debbarma and Biswarath Debbarma. At a point of time, 120(B) section of Indian Penal Code was added in this litigation, said asource.The public raised several questions in this regard: Why did police add 120(B) section into this case? Why didn’t police arrest and interrogate Rajib Dasgupta, Binoy Das, Ambalika Datta, Dilip Kumar Debbarma, BiswarathDebbarma, Sabita Debbarma and Monika Debbarma? A section of public suspect that the ultimate result of the case no: WPS 180/40 will be zero.
