SHILLONG: A meeting has been called on November 8 in Shillong for the special governing body to discuss the money laundering allegations against Bharat Sevashram Sangha (BSS), Shillong Branch secretary Swami Damodarananda.
The available documents revealed that Damodarananda had allegedly transferred money to his parents, Provat Kumar Misra and Juthika Misra and brother Sumit Misra of Burdwan, from his personal account maintained at a nationalized branch in the city. There are also allegations emerging that pilgrims are being charged higher rates for their stay at the BSS guesthouse in Shillong instead of the official nominal rates.
Besides, it was alleged that the pathology and other departments at the BSS medical unit are shown to the authorities being operating free of cost whereas in reality the patients and visitors are charged. There are also allegations of irregularities in procurement of medicines.
While the BSS headquarters will be probing all these allegations, several devotees want transparency and accountability.
