AGARTALA, Jan 27 (TIWN): The investigation of about Rs 5 Cr Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) scam in the School Education Department is progressing very slowly due to high level political influence, said highly placed source of police. Police though successful to arrest the cashier Arnab Chakraborty, but the masterminds are still at large. The charge-sheet on the first FIR of Rastriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan (RMSA) is completed and other three are under way.Talking to TIWN correspondent IO- Sanjoy Biswas said that the case centring Arnab including his family, Rajib and Binoy is completed and the investigation is also completed. But the investigation for another case is in progress. He further said that there is no much development in the case and investigation is underway.It is alleged that Police investigation is not progressing due to ruling party's political pressures so that all kingpins go scot free. Police is unnecessarily lengthening the investigation of the multicrore RMSA scam under Sarba Siksha Abhiyan. Except Arnab Chakraborty, other bigwigs connected with this scam are still at large.Now, the bigwigs are trying to free Arnab from the trap of the police.

Even after the lodging of FIR, except Arnab, other accused are roaming freely in the broad day light.It is to be mentioned here; the Additional Mission Director of RMSA had filed an FIR against Treasurer Arnab Chakraborty for misappropriation of department’s fund at West Agartala police station on September 05, this year. Later, police had arrested the multi-crore scamster Arnab from Kolkata on September 14. Thereafter, the police taken him to the custody as per Court’s order and interrogated him.
During the investigation upto September 20, police come to know two names of Tripura State Co-operative Bank’s officers- Sabita Debbarma and Monika Debbarma. Altogether 96 fraud cheques of RMSA were allegedly passed by them.After the preliminary investigation, police found three names of RMSA- Ambalika Datta, Dilip Kumar Debbarma and Biswarath Debbarma. At a point of time, 120(B) section of Indian Penal Code was added in this litigation, said a source.
The public raised several questions in this regard: Why did police add 120(B) section into this case? Why didn’t police arrest and interrogate Rajib Dasgupta, Binoy Das, Ambalika Datta, Dilip Kumar Debbarma, Biswarath Debbarma, Sabita Debbarma and Monika Debbarma? A section of public suspect that the ultimate result of the case no: WPS 180/40 will come to zero.
