AGARTALA, Nov 26 (TIWN): Lacklustre attitude and pocket full bribe of police and mind game of CPI-M honchos, CM Manik Sarkar is still successful in letting the Scamster BDO Bimal Chakraborty to roam free outside the bars.After months of the scam came into limelight, the main accused BDO Bimal Chakraborty is yet roaming free and it seems police is busy in filing all bailable section of IPC to save the blue eyed boy of Manik.Talking to TIWN correspondent SDPO Bisalgarh Arun Sarkar said that altogether 39 charge sheets are file so far and it also includes the kingpin Scamster BDO Bimal Chakraborty. In a drive to save the prime accused Bimal Chakraborty and also to earn good name to fool the public in the name of filing charge sheet section 409/420/468/471 /120b of IPC is filled against him. It seems that all the sections are bailable and even if the case is forwarded to HC the scamster will get bail easily.The under table relations of police and the political heads has successfully managed to hush up the massive scam.SDPO Arun Sarkar said that no measures can be taken against the prime accused until they get any order from the HC.

Even after almost a year police couldn’t file charge sheet against BDO Bimal Chakraborty who is brother of DYFI Secretary Amal Chakraborty, SP (Security) Kamal Chakraborty and Prof Shyamal Chakraborty who is CM's childhood friend and tipped to take over as VC of upcoming Tripura State University.

Now question arise until police submit the charge sheet court can’t impose any orders.However, talking to TIWN IGP Anurag said that investigation is still underway and charge sheets are filled accordingly.The opposition Congress had earlier demanded CBI enquiry into the multicrore rupee scam but the state government ordered CID enquiry into the case.

The failure of the CID and the police, both of which are under the control of Home Ministry of CM Manik Sarkar whose patronage to scam accused Bimal Chakrabortry was always under scanner gives much suspicion on the nature and integrity of the enquiry of the case. And taking the advantage, Manik is still successful in saving him.

It may be mentioned here that Bimal Chakraborty belongs to a powerful CPI-M family of the state and close to chief minister Manik Sarkar. His elder brother Amal Chakraborty is CPI-M youth wing DYFI’s Secretary. Another elder brother Kamal Chakraborty is Commandant of Tripura State Rifles and eldest brother Shyamal Chakraborty is a Chemistry teacher in Calcutta University who is proposed to be Vice Chancellor of newly coming Tripura state university. Opposition Congress had earlier demanded to shift the trial of Bimal Chakraborty from Bishalgarh Judicial Magistrate Court as Bimal’s sister in-law and Kamal’s wife Susmita is working as PA of the Magistrate.

It may be mentioned here that under tremendous pressure from all corners and wide spread media publication on the Rs. 17 crore MGNREGA scam, BDO Bishalgarh RD Block Subrata Das had lodged the FIR against the then BDO of the block Bimal Chakraborty in Bishalgarh police station. Police had registered a case in this connection (case no. 135/14) under section 409 of IPC. The special audit report of MGNREGA for the financial year 2012-13 and FY 2013-14 had found misappropriation of more than Rs. 17 crores. The internal audit was done during 05/05/2014 to 30/06/2014.

Scamster BDO Bimal Chakraborty, who was in jail remand in connection with the Rs. 17 crores MGNREGA scam at Bishalgarh block was released on bail by the Bishalgarh court giving much shy of relief to the ruling CPI(M) party. Surrendered before the court on October 24 2014, the so called blue eyed boy of chief minister Manik Sarkar and the elder brother of DYFI leader and Tripura State Secretary, Amal Chakraborty got the bail as the police failed to submit a fool-proof chargesheet into the case even after many days of registering the case in the Bishalgarh Police Station by the incumbent BDO Subrata Das. It may be mentioned here that the scam tainted BDO had surrendered before the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) of Bishalgarh on October 24, 2014 after a long drama. Mr. Chakraborty is the prime accused of misappropriation of MGNREGA fund during his tenure as BDO Bishalgarh.

Since the day, the investigation has taken shape, Scamster BDO Bimal Chakraborty running free without any tension as he is aware the he has the hand of Manik to save him.
