Kolkata: The sleuths of the detective department (DD) of Kolkata Police, who are investigating the fake vaccination scam at Kasba in the southern finger of Kolkata, have arrested one more person in this connection.

The arrested person is Ashoke Ray. He was arrested from Birati in the northern fringes of Kolkata on late Wednesday night by the DD sleuths. The prime accused in the fake vaccination scandal, Debanjan Deb rented the office space at Rajdanga in Kasba from this person at a monthly rent of RS 65,000. In fact, Deb used to run his fake vaccination camp from this office.

DD sources said that Roy used to do several fictitious activities on behalf of Debanjan. Once Deb claimed that as a bureaucrat he led a team that raided a fake edible oil factory. He also claimed that he worked as a nodal officer in an election. It is alleged that Ray managed to get this news published in a local daily newspaper.

Meanwhile, news has surfaced that Deb's elder brother, Kanchan Deb was accused of domestic violence by his wife Rituparna Deb five years back. A complaint was filed by her in this regard five years back. Kanchan Deb somehow managed to escape punishment in that case at that time and it is also alleged that Debanjan helped him during that time.
