Shri Harkisdhan Singh Surjeet,

General Secretary CPI (M)

New Delhi

Dear Sir,

This is in strong contrast of what Dr. Biplab Das Gupta, M.P. said that no specific charges are leveled against Shri Jyoti Basu, otherwise party might consider it, which he falsely said in reference to charges levelled by Shri Nripan Chakraborty, Former Chief Minister of Tripura.

Shri Jyoti Basu misused his powers and abused his authority for pecuniary advantage of one particular group of unscrupulous businessman being his Benami partners. For the gain and benefit of the said group, he criminalised the Government and personally induldged in open corrupt practices to help blackmailing activities of the members of the said group, which turned as Mafiadom. Being victim of corrupt practices of Shri Jyoti Basu, I had referred the facts relating to such corrupt practices in several Court proceedings including the matter No. 3028 of 1991 of Calcutta High Court which have been an importance in connection to my said charges, because this matter is a contempt proceeding against me initiated by the said Mafia leader for my reference for him as "Mafia Leader". I was stick to my stand that I have rightly called him as Mafia Leader in consideration to criminal acts and deeds adopted by him in full help, support and protection from Shri Jyoti Basu and had referred all such facts and annexed about 1000 pages of documents with my affidavits. It is needless to mention here that after April 1992 the said Mafia leader arranged for go out of the list for the said matter.

Since 1989 being a severe victim, I had sent several Memorandums to President of India and other authorities with copies to Shri Jyoti Basu himself. I had sent more than 100 letters to CPI(M) Leaders referring therein NEXUS between Shri Jyoti Basu and the said Mafiadom. Such letters had been sent to Shri Jyoti Basu Yourself, Shri Som Nath Chatterjee, M.P., West Bengal Assembly Speaker Shri hasim Abdul Halim, West Bengal Minister Shri Budhhadeb Bhattacharyya, West Bengal CPI(M) leader Shri Biman Bose all by Regd. Post. But, I do not have reaction on any of my letters. Shri Jyoti Basu created such a situation under which my living in Calcutta become impossible and I had to fled

ANNEXURE : "A-57"

from Calcutta along with my family. I am living in Delhi with serious threats to my life and as such I am not in a position to disclose my whereabouts. I have 44 stabs in my physique and both legs of my son were severally crushed through a created accident.

Finding no justice from anywhere, on 8/7/93, I sent my application under Section 19 of the prevention of Corruption Act 1988, 197 of Criminal Procedure Code before President of India for according sanction to prosecute Shri Jyoti Basu and copy of the said application was also sent to Shri Jyoti Basu, Yourself and other CPI(M) leaders. This matter was also published in the front page of Amrita Bazar Patrika dated 15/11/94 under the heading of Basu accused of misaapropriation".

Therefore, this is totally incorrect that no specific charges against Shri Jyoti Basu are leveled.

I would like to add one more evidence of NEXUS between Shri Jyoti Basu and the said Mafiadom at the cost of Public interest at large. The said Mafiadom purchased one Prime property namely Alexandra Court being premises No. 60/1, Chowringhee Road, with clear planning and considerations that tenants will be removed by force from the properties with the help of Shri Jyoti Basu and to earn more than Twenty Crores of Rupees in black money by developing a Market complex. To achieve the object, they started terrorizing the tenants and had thrown bombs in the premises. Police was informed but they did not take any action. Reportedly, one of the residents named Mr. Khosla telephoned to senior CBI officer in New Delhi Mr. Arun Bhagat about such grave situation, who telephoned back to Home Secretary, West Bengal Mr. Manish Gupta, then only police arrested the Head of the Mafiadom in night of 2^nd October 1994. But, this is surprisingly enough that in serious violation of law, within 3 hours of his arrest, he was released by Police in midnight. Press had reported that West Bengal Minister Shri Matish Roy arranged for the said release, who later on made some childish statement that relations of accused arrived at his residence in the night, but he telephoned to Police not for his release but for arrest of nephew of the said arrested accused too. In fact, he was acted under instructions of Shri Jyoti Basu, but when the matter exposed in the Press such childish statement was made. To make the people fool, a show cause notice was also issued upon the said Police Officer, who released illegally the said member of the said Mafiadom.

This si also reported that now Mr. Matish Gupta, the Home Secretary of West Bengal has advised to the residents of the said premises to settle with the new owners of the

premises. Possibly, he is trying to correct the mistake which he did by arresting the Benami Partner of Shri Jyoti Basu.

However, I had referred the above matter in F. I. R. lodged on 21/12/94 before the Director CBI (Mr. Vijay Ramarao) too.

Instead of repeating my charges again against Shri Jyoti Basu, I am enclosing herewith Xerox copy of my said application dated 8/7/93, letter dated 1/11/93 from Govt. of India and news cutting of Amrita Bazar Patrika dated 15/11/93 proving that statement of Dr. Biplab Das Gupta M. P. is totally false.

In view of the above facts, please come with clean hands before the public that what is the policy of your party on Corruption at high levels and what actions you had taken on my letters contained with facts concerned to corrupt practice of Shri Jyoti Basu.

With Thanks,

Yours faithfully,

(Milap Chand Choraria)
