And after the general election to ADC on May 3 Sarkar has been learnt to give a final stamp to the vigilance report against him and others.Besides, on a telephonic conversation with TIWN a source of high official of the state confirmed, “The vigilance investigation report had already been sent to the CM office. But earlier during the investigation an allegation was raised against him for influencing the report.”

The officer also said that the department would take action against them very soon after the election to ADC.

However it has also been learnt that Bhattacharjee and others managed to carry all the steps under various fields to put influence on the report framed against them, but they failed to do so.
