Jakison Terang asked as to why Sarkar was appointed to such a responsible post when she has been already jailed on similar charges.
Terang said, “She should not have been given such a position in the Treasury office given her record. I heard she was transferred ten days ago which we didn’t know about. The FIR filed today is a culmination of our long observation on the particular officer and verifying the allegations from contractors and others who have worked in the Treasury office as well as my own dealings with the officer. We made sting videos to prove her accepting bribe.”
“Why there are no CCTV cameras in such an important office when there are CCTV cameras even at the neighbourhood pan shops?,” questioned Terang.
However, Terang informed that the case is yet to be registered as far as his knowledge is concerned.
