*Agartala, Nov 6:* Former Tripura Pradesh Congress president and Congress Legislature Party leader **Birajit Sinha** on Thursday levelled serious allegations against **Social Welfare Minister Tinku Roy**, accusing him of facilitating illegal immigration and concealing criminal antecedents in violation of the **Representation of the People Act**.
Sinha’s statement came two days after Minister Roy led a protest rally against him, alleging that the Congress leader was operating a terror network. Responding sharply, Sinha announced that the Congress would initiate **legal proceedings** against Roy for “corrupt practices” and misuse of office.
“The BJP often blames Congress for supporting illegal immigration, but this time I have solid proof,” Sinha said. He alleged that a Bangladeshi national, who obtained an Indian identity under the name **Sanjay Chakraborty**, served as head cook at the Minister’s residence during Durga Puja. According to Sinha, Chakraborty recently assisted two Bangladeshi women — one a minor — to illegally cross into India. Both were detained by police and reportedly named Chakraborty, who now lives in **Srirampur village** under a new identity, **Dipak Chakraborty**.
Sinha said he had written to **Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha** and the **Director General of Police**, urging a full investigation into the matter. “This could be part of a larger network of illegal entrants operating under political protection,” he claimed.
The Congress MLA further accused Roy of hiding details of an **FIR** filed against him at **West Agartala Police Station** by journalist **Anal Roy Chowdhury**, editor of *Pratibadi Kalam*. Sinha also questioned Roy’s **educational qualifications**, alleging that his Class XII certificate from the **Madhyabharat Board of Education, Gwalior**, is not recognised by government authorities.
Sinha asserted that the Congress would seek legal remedy, calling Roy’s non-disclosure of criminal charges a violation of electoral law.
