AGARTALA, July 6 (TIWN): With no trace about the rape accused Panna Ahmed from the end of police question has started erupting from every corner, like where is Panna, is he really absconding, or he has been given special shelter by CPI-M’s big heads in collaboration with the Tripura police? CPI-M‘s complete silence has sparked off controversy in the issue. Question arises why CPI-M silent so far. Is suspension the only punishment for a rapist? When the entire state is heated with the issue for arresting rapist Panna Ahmed a new controversy erupts over the appointment of Panna Ahmed as the Joint Director of Sports. With pressure from narcotics smugglers and CPI-M lobbies, Panna Ahmed was earlier appointed as SDM Sonamura in place of upright SDM Subhashis Das as over Rs 100 crores Ganja fields were destroyed. Now again appointment of Panna Ahmed as the joint director of Sports gives a clear indication that CM Manik Sarkar is playing a suspicious role in his promotion.Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar’s suspicious role behind promoting rapist Panna Ahmed as Joint Director of Sports, then CM’s direct role in shielding Minister Shahid Chowdhury’s criminal activities.

Minister Shahid Chowdhury's wife not only directly involved with Sonamura’s dreaded smuggling rackets, also Shahid Chowdhury, Panna Ahmed’s relatives like Roman Mia, who is known as the Phensydyl smuggling king of Sonamura.

The minister came under the scanner when the arms dealer, who was arrested in the state for anti-India activities, spilled the beans about his association with the Communist leader. Mr Chowdhury, who was food and minority affairs minister in the Left Front government, is alleged to have helped arms dealer Mamun Mia, purportedly an agent of Pakistan's ISI, in getting permanent residential certificate (PRC) from the state government and an Indian passport. The Tripura police had ordered an inquiry into the alleged links between Mr Chowdhury and Mamun Mian alias Suman Majumdar.

Tripura CM directly responsible for Panna Ahmed’s appointment as SDM Sonamura, followed by further appointment as Joint Director of Sports. Also its Tripura CM who made a career criminal as Sports Minister rather than packing these smugglers into jail. So, its no surprise that Tripura has become heaven for international drug smuggling rackets.

When the entire Sonamura Sub-division has turned out to be a den for Ganja Cultivation, Ex-SDM Panna Ahmed during his stay as SDM  earlier said to TIWN correspondent that no measures have been adopted now for curtailing Ganja cultivation in the sub-division where as the sub-division is reeling under rampant ganja cultivation.

A lady registered a case against Mr Ahmed stating that she was raped in the morning at the officer’s house in South Ramnagar of Agartala when she went to rent a room.
