Scrap Scam of NFR: There is strong resentment that main culprits is still out of enquiry

The theft was made in the jurisdiction of other RPF Post, is not coming under the enquiry and still at large

The instant case of Inspector, RPF Post, Kamakhya was arrested for his active involvement in stealing of iron materials from Harangajao area under RPF Post Haflong (North Cachar Hill) about 300Km away from Guwahati.

In the said case earlier one Sub-inspector from Haflong RPF post has also been arrested.

The said Inspector Jayanta Das, he was a master mind in stealing Railway materials in connivance of senior officers of RPF.

In the instant case only 3 trucks of Rail material was recovered but that racket was running since last one year under the patronage of IG/PCSC/NFR, B B Mishra and SrDSC/LMG, Sudhakar who was earlier shifted from Firozpur for similar charges in Rail Coach Factory (RCF), Kapurthala.

However, PCSC/NFR B B Mishra has already been transferred but his racket is still working in Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR).

Interestingly, in last year in the month of May a similar case was took place at Guwahati when said Inspector Jayanta Das sold one truck of cease Property to iron merchant in the name of depositing in Railway Store Depot.

The matter was informed to IG B B Mishra by some media person and published in local media but due to high handedness of IG Mishra the case was concealed at Maligaon HQ level by taking out the iron loaded vehicle in the name of conducting Enquiry.

Now, IPF Jayanta Das and few of his associates have been arrested but the Senior RPF officers under whose connivance that theft was made in the jurisdiction of other Post Inspector which is nearly 300 km away is not coming under the Enquiry and still at large.

There is strong resentment among the common staff of RPF that main culprits IG/PCSC/NFR Mishra and SrDSC/LMG Sudhakar is still not coming under preview of Enquiry.

Further said that IPF Jayanta Das had also committed theft of huge iron materials in connivance of the then CSC/NFR, Sahid Ahmed an IPS Officer from Manipur cadre later on he became DG Manipur.

That time IPF Jayanta Das was posted in CIB at Rangiya. In that case nearly 1000 tone of released iron was sold illegally by IPF Jayanta Das with the help of iron syndicate in connivance with then CSC/NFR and SrDSC/Rangiya. As per reliable sources, by these illegal earnings he has purchased land and buildings worth rupees of several crores.
