According to the police, the statement of the person was taken after going to Memory Rural Hospital. The accused claim that it is a political conspiracy.
The man, who is a toto driver by profession, complained that Trinamool activist and panchayat village resource worker (VRP) Subhankar Majumder took 55,000 rupees in the name of getting his wife a job at a local village sub-health center. It is also alleged that panchayat member Manika Roy has done some 'immoral' work with him by showing the greed of the job. The person under treatment in the hospital claimed on Tuesday, 'Manika also took money from some people through me.
Now refusing to return the money. I could not keep my head straight.'' His wife complained, 'We are poor people. Manika and Subhankar offered me a job as a asha worker. Her husband gave her 55 thousand rupees after borrowing from a micro-credit organization. There is no job, the demand for refund is also increasing.
This creates a distance between us. I went to my father's house with my two sons." Manika countered, "I have no relation with that person. Being framed by conspiracy. What power does a member like me have to give a job?' Subhankar also claimed, 'I am not qualified to give a job. False allegations have been made." SDPO (Burdwan South) Suprabhat Chakraborty said, "A case has been registered after receiving the complaint. An investigation is underway.”
