AGARTALA: West Bengal CPI-M leader Sushanta Ghosh, being sought by the police since the unearthing of several skeletons from near his ancestral house at Garbeta in West Midnapore district, is taking shelter in Tripura.

This has been claimed by Leader of the Opposition in Tripura and Congress MLA Ratan Lal Nath in a letter to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Besides Ghosh, a former minister and many CPI-M harmads (armed cadres) had also sought refuge in this Left Front-ruled state after the Left debacle in the assembly polls in West Bengal, Nath claimed.

“On the basis of information available to me, I wrote to Mamata Banerjee that many CPI-M harmads from West Bengal charged with rape and murder have taken shelter in Tripura with indulgence from the ruling CPI-M. Former CPI-M Minister Sushanta Ghosh has also taken shelter here,” he told PTI here.

“Ghosh is not attending assembly session in West Bengal and is not available in his locality during the past one and half months,” the letter said.

The letter dated June 30 asked Banerjee to initiate action to investigate the matter.

He said he had written the letter to Banerjee after the administration in Tripura did not heed his warning that absconding CPI-M leaders and workers would slip into the state through the airport and railway stations after the Left debacle in the West Bengal assembly polls.

“I cannot turn a blind eye in such situation.

So I alerted Banerjee to initiate action from Bengal to arrest them because we do not want any trouble in our state,” he said.

When contacted, CPI-M spokesman and member of state secretariat Gautam Das said the charges mentioned in the letter were “baseless, irresponsible and fictitious”.(PTI)
