AGARTALA, September 6 (TIWN): Even after 22hrs of FIR, Tripura Police could not succeed to arrest the accused cashier Arnab Chakraborty, who stole Rs 11.72 Lakhs of RMSA funds by cheque forgery from Tripura State Co-Operative Bank. The highly powerful and politically connected accused Arnab Charaborty absconding from the Friday night.West Agartala Police started investigation of the unearthed scam of education department.Yesterday a FIR (File no- F.18(2)-DSE/CELL/2013) against the cashier had been logged by Joint Director of Education Department Manabendra Chakraborty. FIR No is 156/14 and the investigation is vested upon Sub-Inspector of West P.S Shyamaprasad Das.

 The accused Arnab Chakraborty is the resident of Reshambagan area under Khayerpur P.S, - also Arnab has residence and properties in Kolkata. Now the question arises, why the police failed to arrest the accused, did police searched Arnab's house so far ? Though the distance between the West Agartala P.S. and residence of Arnab Chakraborty is not more than 6 km.

However police said that investigation is going on. Is there more employee attached to the scam? is still under suspense. It is further to be mentioned here that Arnab Chakraborty is accused of making forgery of the sign of ASMD in Cheque and withdrawing Rs.11.72 Lakhs . The accused is also charged for issuing an appropriation letter demanding authority of receiving all the cheques and payments from RMSA. The authority of Tripura State Co-operative Bank suspected a big scam and they contacted the Director. As a proof bank officials produced a copy of
bearer cheques in the name of Arnab Chakraborty bearing No.01756 against which Rs 11 lakhs was drawn by him on 3rd September 2014.

On behalf of the Education Department  Manabendra Chakraborty mentioned in his FIR that “On preliminary enquiry of office records, it appeared that the signature of the ASMD and the Deputy Director (DDO) was forged, which was signed by him intentionally for the misappropriation of the Government money.”

Arnab Chakraborty is well connected to Political top brass - even after Cheque Forgery scam, most likely he may escape justice and termination from Govt Job   - from all parts of society, people are skeptical about Police action so far on what actually was done to trace him and arrest ??? People of Tripura, Opposition Parties, a section of ruling party demanding CBI probe on State Education Department to unearth many other related corruptions
