Kolkata: The family Rizwanur Rahman on Thursday claimed that the brother of industrialist Ashok Todi had offered them money to end the late computer graphics teacher's marriage with Priyanka, but they refused to accept it. These claims came hours after the CBI checked the bank accounts of the family.
The Todis had offered a blank cheque to Rizwanur Rehman's family to separate him from Priyanka, daughter of Ashok Todi, but they did not accept it, the deceased's elder brother Ruqbanur Rehman said. The Todis were not available for comments on Ruqbanur's claim.
"Priyanka's uncle, Pradip Todi, had offered a blank cheque to separate the couple at the outset. There was no financial transaction with the Todis. If we were to take money, we would have accepted the blank cheque in the first place," Ruqbanur said.
"We received offers thrice. Even a driver of the Todis had offered 'any amount' to make Rizwabur and Priyanka part," he alleged.
"This is a conspiracy by those who do not want the truth to come out," Ruqbanur charged, adding that he was satisfied with the CBI investigation. "We don't think that any CBI officer has said this and it was fabricated by a section of the media," he said.
Replying to a question he said, CBI has not asked for details of his bank account. To another question whether the CBI was investigating his uncle's bank account, he said, "We don't know."
CBI Joint Director Arun Kumar, heading probe team, said the bank accounts of the family members were checked but declined to give details. CBI sources said the sleuths of the investigation agency inquired about the account of Rizwanur's uncle Sahidur Rehman, who runs a garment business, at the Palm Avenue branch of Dena Bank.
"The CBI officers asked for my account details. They took my account number during interrogation," Sahidur said. Sahidur denied any interaction with Ashoke Todi.
