KRISHNAGAR, 5 JULY: Yet another case similar to that of Debanjan Deb in Kolkata has come to the light in Krishnagar where one Radharani Biswas has allegedly duped several unemployed youths by impersonating as a CID officer.
The accused woman reportedly extorted lakhs of rupees from several youths living across the district by promising them government jobs.

More interestingly, the woman was seen at several charitable programmes during the pandemic situation where several Trinamul Congress leaders were present.
Two complaints have already been lodged with the Kotwali police against the woman, a resident of Kanthalpota in Krishnagar, where the complainants clearly mentioned that they have been cheated by her.
One of the complainants, Gourav Chatterjee said the woman promised him a job in the health department and claimed Rs 5 lakh. “I paid the money to her and a medical test was taken at Bogula hospital where I had to pay Rs 5000 again to her associate. But, since then I have not received any appointment letter. I talked several times about my job with her, but she failed to reply. Even, she denied returning the amount I paid. Yesterday, I lodged a complaint with the Kotwali police against her.”
The victim youth who also resides at Kanthalpota alleged that the woman often used to pose as a CID officer. Wearing police clothes, the woman used to dupe youths by making false promises of giving government jobs at various government departments along with the police department, Gourav alleged.
He alleged the woman opened a fake website and a fake e-mail. The website was made similar to that of the state’s government’s health department website. In her website, she didn’t use Mamata Banerjee’s photo, but all other things were similar to that of the Biswa Bangla website., he said.

Tension erupted in Krishnagar soon after the news spread and the local people said the incident is similar to the case of Debanjan Deb, who posed as an IAS officer and ran a fake vaccination camp in Kolkata. Debanjan had reportedly made influence with several Trinamul Congress top brasses and shared photographs of them in his social media platforms.
In this case, Radharani Biswas also made influence with Trinamul Congress leaders and shared a common platform with the leaders in charitable programmes during Covid times. She also used a costly SUV vehicle.
When asked, a Kotwali police officer said, “We have received a complaint from a youth. We are probing the matter on the line to what extent the allegation is true. We have also detained her driver for interrogation.”
Meanwhile, Radharani Biswas and her husband Nripendranath Biswas are absconding following the complaint while their daughter Tiasha Biswas, when asked, said, “This is a complete conspiracy hatched against my mother.”
Sibnath Chowdhury, Trinamul Congress Town president said, “Many persons come to attend many charitable programmes. We don’t know who they are. When we heard that the woman has duped many youths, I personally condemned her. Police will do accordingly.”
