BDO Accused of Misusing Funds, BJP Files Complaint in Itahar
In 2024, a BJP worker said that the local BDO used about 10 lakh rupees for building work.
The BDO says he only did official work and that the contractor made up bills.
The contractor says the BDO is refusing to pay him.
The BJP workers went to the BDO’s office and asked for payment, which caused a fight.
Police had to step in, and both sides filed complaints at the police station.
BJP in North Dinajpur files complaint against Itahar BDO for alleged misuse of ₹10 lakh funds and unpaid contractor bills.
BDO Dibyendu Sarkar counters with complaint, claiming contractor submitted false bills and no work was done on verbal instructions.
Contractor Humayun Rahaman and BJP workers demanded payment; confrontation escalated to live stream and police intervention.
BDO denies claims, says work was not authorized verbally and has recommended contractor be blacklisted for three years.
The dispute involves construction, renovation, and beautification work for Trinamool MLA Mosharraf Hossain’s office.
