KOLKATA / AGARTALA, January 12 (TIWN): On Swami Vivekananda's birthday, Trinamul second in command Mukul Roy never thought that CBI dragnet will finally trap him.The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday summoned Trinamool general secretary and former railway minister Mukul Roy for questioning in connection with the multi-crore rupee Saradha scam.Confirming that he has been called for questioning, Roy - presently in Delhi - said he will appear before the CBI once he returns to Kolkata. Once CBI starts investigation on multiple Tripura scams including Chit funds like Saradha, Rose Valley, MGNREGA, RMSA CM & CS book scams, Tripura will certainly witness many arrests of its Ministers, Party leaders in deep necked corruptions. In Rs. 50 crore Bisalgarh MGNREGA Scam, BDO Bimal Chakraborty is cooling in Bisalgarh Jail now, however rest assured his godfather CM will certainly pull him out of 'misery.
Even though Mukul Roy said "Question doesn't arise about any summons but I have been informed by the CBI. I am here (Delhi) for a day or two, and once I go back to Kolkata, definitely I will meet the CBI people," Roy told reporters in Delhi.
"I have never done any illegal or immoral activities. They have called me but I am here. Once I return to Kolkata, I will meet them," added Roy.
However going by CBI sources, next in line to be arrested in Saradha scam is Trinamul Congress's number two leader Mukul Roy.
BDO Bimal was not only patornized by Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, also by former Chief Secretary Dr. S.K.Panda who specially hired him to translate his book "one plus one equalsto eleven" into Bengali.
Not only that, to benifit Chief Minister's close friend publisher Debananda Dam's Gyam Bichitra publication, CM & former CS instructed officials to use RMSA central funds to buy their books ( which BDO Bimal translated) by issuing a Govt order.
TIWN got some authentic information about Bimal and his habit of stealing money . His first appointment was in MataBari R D Block, where he was posted as Panchayat Extension Officer in 1997. Right from beginning Bimal used to pressurize lower level employees like Panchayat Secretaries to give him money on loan.
But this amount was not returned. One such employee told TIWN today," Even now Biamal has a debt of Rs 5000/- to me. And God will not forgive him. " But once he got transferred to Khowai with promotion Bimal started to show his real image. An official , who was posted in Khowai at that time told TIWN,"
He straightway looted Rs 80,000/- from Govt fund in the name of purchasing books from Agartala Book Fair. Actually an official had immense faith on him and asked Bimal to buy books of Rs 65000/- but after a few days Bimal produced a bill adjustment of Rs 1,35,000/- . At this the official asked Biaml for clarification.
Bimal then named two CPI(M) leaders saying ," I am forced to give Rs 70000/- to two CPI(M) leaders. " But when the official personally investigated the matter he found that those two leaders didn't even know about this incident. From this day I had the idea that Bimal is a shameless thief." From Khowai,
Bimal was transferred to Melaghar R D Block, where he was given the first posting as BDO. And the era of ' looting' began. Under wellguarded protection from Chief Minister Manik Sarkar( being elected from Dhanpur) Bimal became the ultimate boss of local administration." Many still believe that the amount that Bimal looted from Melaghar would easily double the amount that he looted from Bishalgarh .
But as opposition was too weak , none raised a question against him. Even in last Agartala Book Fair a tainted publisher (CM's family friend) got the first prize as Bimal , the then Deputy Director of ICA, instructed the judges to do so. In close interaction, a judge recently said," We did what we were instructed to so by Bimal Chakraborty. Even ICA minister Bhanu Lal Saha wanted the same."
