Mamata Banerjee said People are being jailed but Central agencies have not been able to prove their involvement or conclude what crime they committed. If someone commits a crime, they must face action. But we still don’t know what crime did Tapas Pal & others commit.

Central govt’s pressure has claimed so many lives. Three people died due to this pressure by the agencies. Sultan Ahmed (former TMC MP), TMC MP Prasun Banerjee’s wife passed away and now Tapas Pal, Mamata added

Pal, a two-term former MP, died at the age of 61 in Mumbai on Tuesday after a heart attack. He was an accused in the Rose Valley chit fund scam case and was in jail for over a year. His alleged involvement in the scam was one of the reasons why he was not given a ticket to contest in 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
The Bengali actor-politician was a board member of Rose Valley Marketing India Ltd and Idea Projects Ltd – two companies of the group – for brief periods over two financial years since 2009.
