Uproar over account scam in Bengal.
Now there is a big stir in West Bengal over the accounts scam. The West Bengal government has formed an SIT under the leadership of the Joint Commissioner of Kolkata Police to investigate the accounts scam. It is alleged that there has been corruption of accounts worth approximately Rs 1,000 crore and political controversies and accusations and counter-allegations have started in this regard. So far, the Tab scam is spread in around 15 districts of the state. During the investigation, interstate elements were found.
Police are rigorously investigating and arrests are being made. In such a situation, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s statement on this issue came. Similar incidents have also occurred in Maharashtra and Rajasthan, but we managed to nab this gang. SIT has been formed. Arrests have also been made and those who have not received the money in the account will be paid soon.
Let us tell you that one of the biggest schemes of the West Bengal government for students is “Tarun ke Sapne”. In this scheme, the state government gives money to students in grades 11 and 12 to buy accounts for their studies. Students of classes 11 and 12 are given Rs 10,000 in their bank accounts to buy eyelashes and this time there have been allegations of corruption over the money to buy eyelashes.
