KARIMGANJ, June 9: Not only the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) but Indian National Congress also had reportedly requested higher authorities of the Government of Asom in March this year to take steps against Latu-Dasgram Cooperative Society chairman Abdul Ahad Choudhury to save the society, but no action has so far been taken against him by the government agencies concerned.
In a memorandum to the Commissioner, Hills and Barak Valley Division, Karimganj District Congress President Satu Roy, along with five other office-bearers, demanded initiation of criminal proceedings against Choudhury and to dissolve present managing committee of the society. Two days earlier i.e. on March 12 this year, BJP’s Karinganj committee had also submitted a memorandum for proceedings against Abdul Ahad Choudhury in order to save the society. The memorandum, singed by Biswarup Bhattacharjee, District BJP president and Mission Ranjan Das, MLA, among others, raised a serious allegation that “he (Abdul Ahad Choudhury) managed to get his death certificate from the authority concerned to cover up his criminal activities.
On the (basis of) the death certificate, he got his name deleted from the list of accused in connection with Kanhun PS Case (No. 21/2005 vide Criminal TR. No. 428/2005 U/S 489 ‘C’ IPC) by the Additional District Magistrate (Judicial), Aizawl District, Mizoram.”
This serious allegation of false death certificate has been brought to the notice of the Chief Secretary, Asom on March 16 last by CPI (M) in a memorandum signed by the party’s Karimganj district committee secretary Nirmal Dey.
The memorandum said: “He (Abdul Ahad Choudhury) dared to manage a false document like his death certificate from the authority concerned to escape from a criminal case pending against him in the court of Additional District Magistrate (Judicial), Aizawl District, Mizoram.” But the then District Magistrate of Karimganj, Dr BN Sharma had informed the additional district and session Judge, Aizawl that Abdul Ahad Choudhury was still alive and on the basis of which an arrest warrant was issued against him. The CPI (M) memorandum alleged that since April, 2008 following assumption of charges by Abdul Ahad Choudhury as chairman of Latu-Dasgram Cooperative Society Ltd an abnormal and undesirable situation has been prevailing in the society.
“His unbounded greed and desire for individual enrichment by any unscrupulous means has brought the Cooperative Society to the present state of crisis- near to ruin,” alleged the memorandum. It was further alleged to the chief secretary that misappropriation of society funds, black marketing of PDS goods allotted for the society, unlawful collection of money from the dealers under the jurisdiction of the said society, holding illegal meeting of the managing committee forging signatures of its members in order to prepare false proceedings are some of the misdeeds of Abdul Ahad Choudhury which were brought to the notice of the authorities concerned time and again. In connection with these allegations, the Karimganj district administration filed an FIR to the Karimganj Police station against Abdul Ahad Choudhury, but mysteriously no effective steps were taken, the memorandum alleged.
It is learnt that recently more than 200 share holders of the society, in a memorandum, requested the Assistant Registrar of cooperative Society to declare the annual general meeting of the society held in May last as illegal since neither notices were served nor announcement through drum beating or announcement through microphone were made. They also demanded to dissolve the existing managing committee. THE SENTINEL
