The CPI (M) state secretary Jiten Chowdhury has demanded immediate removal from election duty of tainted SDPO of Bishalgarh Rahul Das, a confirmed BJP supporter. In a letter addressed to the chief election commissioner, New Delhi, Jiten has enclosed a newspaper cutting saying that Rahul Das was served a notice from court for invoking light sections of IPC in the case of the murder of aged CPI (M) supporter Shahid Mia in Charilam on November 30 last year by BJP miscreants. According to the newspaper report Rahul Das had prevailed upon the inquiry officer not to invoke Section 302 for murder against the nabbed BJP miscreants so that they could easily escape punishment and obtain bail which they did.

Besides, Jiten also referred to his letter to CEO on January 30 in which he had demanded that departmental proceedings be drawn against Rahul Das , additional SP Ranadhir Debbarma of Sepahijala and officer in charge of Bishalgarh police station Badal Saha for dereliction of duty at the behest of the deputy chief minister Jishnu Debbarma’s son Pratik Debbarma. He said that despite his letter no effective action has been taken by the election department on the issue of Rahul Das and two other officials named in his letter.

Jiten alleged that under the stewardship of Rahul Das the Bishalgarh police station has been converted into a ‘den of BJP terror-mongers’. No complaint against BJP miscreants is taken cognizance of or treated lightly by invoking soft and light sections of IPC to pave the way for their acquittal from court or obtaining of easy bail. Besides, during the past five years the CPI (M) party office of Bishalgarh has been burnt down 7/8 times with impunity even though the office is only three hundred yards away from the police station. Not a single culprit has been arrested by the Bishalgarh police station on the basis of specific complaints.

Jiten expressed his worries about the consequences and fairness of the upcoming assembly election on February 16 if a tainted officer like Rahul Das is allowed to continue in his post during polls and the fate of ‘Mission Zero Poll Violence’ and ‘Level Playing Field’ for polls. Citing all these facts Jiten has demanded immediate removal of Rahul Das, SDPO Bishalgarh , from all elected related duties because of his partisan role in favour of the ruling BJP.
