Complaint against Abhishek Banerjee over alleged "Sebaashray Scam"

BJP leader Abhijit Das, popularly known as Bobby, has lodged a formal corruption complaint at the Bishnupur police station against Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee regarding irregularities at his regional welfare home facility. The comprehensive charge sheet accuses Banerjee and his close associates, including Sumit Roy, Ayan Ghosh Dastidar, local MLAs, and panchayat members, of running fraudulent medical Sebaashray camps. The complainant alleges that the facility intentionally deployed unregistered quack doctors and homeopaths to administer advanced modern medical treatments, thereby violating standard statutory health regulations and risking public safety.

According to the official complaint, the medical camps systematically used sophisticated diagnostic machinery, such as ultrasonography (USG) equipment, without securing the mandatory legal permits required by state health departments. Furthermore, Das presented a prescription as evidence showing that patients were being diagnosed without any noted description of their illnesses, missing critical physician registration numbers, and bearing generic "referred to hospital" stamps. The complaint also charges the organizers with using local administrative clout to forcibly bring residents to the health center simply to inflate crowd numbers and fabricate a false narrative of institutional success.

The controversy deepens with insider revelations from an anonymous camp doctor who exposed a major financial network aimed at siphoning government funds. While basic checkups at the welfare home were advertised as free, patients were allegedly pushed to undergo expensive MRI and CT scans that fall outside the coverage of the state's Swasthyasathi insurance card. Marketing teams from associated private hospitals would then intervene to forcefully admit these patients for prolonged stays of 10 to 12 days for minor ailments. This strategic manipulation resulted in inflated medical bills that were directly deducted from the state-funded Swasthyasathi project, routing public money into private hands.
