<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSources further allege that, ignoring FR-56 rules, Arun Kumar Ray was repeatedly reappointed to important positions after retirement by Akinchan Sarkar. It is also alleged that the same Arun Kumar Ray worked overtime even on weekends to modify portions of the report received from Unakoti district, allegedly providing a \u201cprotective shield\u201d to Akinchan Sarkar. Questions are now being raised about why such urgency was shown even during government holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A former IAS officer told Duranta TV that receiving IAS promotion despite so many allegations would be practically impossible without the support of the Chief Secretary. According to him, only the recommendation of the Chief Secretary can move such files forward to the UPSC. He also claimed that details of how Akinchan Sarkar allegedly secured that recommendation would soon be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to multiple sources accessed by Duranta TV, a powerful syndicate involving the reappointment of retired officers has allegedly developed across the state. It is claimed that a close group associated with Akinchan Sarkar contacts officers shortly before retirement and arranges their reappointment allegedly through financial agreements. Officers unwilling to meet the alleged financial demands reportedly do not receive reappointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A retired TCS officer told Duranta TV that both he and one of his colleagues had applied for reappointment. According to him, they were allegedly asked to pay large sums of money in exchange for securing those appointments. Screenshots of messages sent by the officer have been shown publicly. However, Duranta TV has not independently verified these claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several additional emails and official documents have reportedly reached Duranta TV through Secretariat sources. A retired influential TCS officer has alleged that Akinchan Sarkar\u2019s team has been arranging repeated reappointments of retired officers in exchange for money. This has raised questions about whether the government\u2019s official retirement age of 60 is actually being followed in Tripura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another major question being raised is how one officer could reportedly continue in the same position for nearly 16 years. According to the retired TCS officer, some influential ministers allegedly used Akinchan Sarkar to expand their financial interests over the years. It is also alleged that removing him could expose several hidden facts, which is why no action is being taken against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is growing discussion within administrative circles that certain influential bureaucrats and retired officials are effectively controlling ministers and parts of the Secretariat. Names such as Apurba Ray, Subhendu Dasgupta, Dipak Dasgupta, and A.K. Bhattacharya are reportedly being discussed in this context. Allegations suggest that retired officials continue to exercise strong influence over the functioning of the Secretariat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another source of Duranta TV claimed that over the last three years, two influential ministers allegedly accumulated large amounts of wealth by using Akinchan Sarkar. According to the source, instead of investigating multiple corruption allegations, he is now allegedly being rewarded with IAS promotion. The source further claimed, \u201cBecause of the ministers\u2019 vulnerabilities, nobody has the courage to remove Akinchan Sarkar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n On August 8, 2019, then Joint Secretary Ajit Debnath reportedly wrote to the District Magistrate of Unakoti seeking action against officials accused of diverting government khas land and forest land through illegal means. Initially, Akinchan Sarkar\u2019s name was also allegedly linked to that land-related case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fresh allegations have also emerged regarding contacts with the UPSC. Sources of Duranta TV claim that Akinchan Sarkar allegedly possesses confidential information related to certain \u201cunofficial or undisclosed activities\u201d of UPSC Secretary Shashi Ranjan Kumar. It is alleged that this information helped him remain in the same position for nearly 16 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Duranta TV claims to have already obtained three pieces of evidence connected to these alleged \u201chidden secrets\u201d involving IAS officer Shashi Ranjan Kumar. The channel says those details will be revealed gradually in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, questions are also being raised inside the Secretariat regarding how Duranta TV obtained multiple old government documents. According to sources, Akinchan Sarkar has allegedly started a detailed internal search inside the Secretariat to identify the source of the leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More explosive revelations are expected soon\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staff Reporter, Duranta TV, Agartala: Serious controversy has erupted in the state\u2019s administrative circles over the promotion process of Akinchan Sarkar to the IAS cadre.
