Two complaints of cheating to the tune of Rs 1 crore have been lodged against Debanjan Deb, who had allegedly posed as an IAS officer and conducted illegal Covid vaccination camps.

Deb’s three bank accounts, according to police, have only Rs 7,000.

Both complaints were lodged with Kasba police station. One of them says Deb, now behind bars, had purchased electronic goods for his Kasba office worth Rs 10 lakh but did not pay the supplier. The other alleges that he had taken Rs 90 lakh to build a stadium as part of a government project.

“Till now we have found three bank accounts of Deb, one of which he opened in the name of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation. We are checking bank statements to understand where he had transferred or spent the money,” said an officer.

The police will write to the CMC asking whether Deb was involved in any civic projects. He has claimed that he had won several sub-contracts from CMC-affiliated contractors.

The police questioned at least four persons, including employees of Deb, in his presence on Friday.

Joint commissioner (crime) Murlidhar Sharma said a special investigating team headed by deputy commissioner Saikat Ghosh would be set up to probe the “larger conspiracy” angle of the case.

Trinamul’s Sonarpur South MLA Lovely Maitra and the Indian Medical Association, Bengal branch, have lodged police complaints against Deb. Lovely has complained that she was misled into believing that Deb was a “government servant” when she attended a programme organised by him.

Trinamul MP and IMA state secretary Santanu Sen said in his complaint that it was not possible for them to verify Deb’s credentials when he approached them for voluntary distribution of masks, sanitisers, PPE kits, oximeters and thermal guns.
