family members of all help to run the family. Dey was an employee of

Congress, Rabindra Nath Ghosh said he visited the house following
instruction from state Transport minister, Madan Mitra. He handed over
Rs 10,000 to the widow of Dey. He said that four months ago Dey was
transferred to Suri from Cooch Behar. As he was not receiving salary

a TB patient. Ghosh, who is an ex-chairman of the NBSTC held the
Managing Director responsible for the death as he transferred him
without considering Dey's problems.
