The West Bengal government will take action against the ADC to Governor Viren J. Shah, Anirban Roy, for levelling corruption charges against Shah and his other ADC, Asutosh Sarengi.In a hurriedly-called press conference last night, Roy had alleged that the electricity bills of the Governor’s House in Maharashtra are paid from the West Bengal exchequer. He had also charged that important documents relating to national interest were being leaked out from the Raj Bhavan.‘‘Money is being paid to bring documents out of Raj Bhavan. What is happening there is quite serious,’’ the IPS officer, who is now staying at the guest-house of a Central Government organisation, said.The government has reacted sharply to his allegations. ‘‘We saw in the newspapers about the officer’s allegations,’’ Chief Secretary Sourin Roy told reporters. ‘‘We checked about the officer and found that he had not been keeping well both mentally and physically. In any case, the way a government officer like him had called a press conference and publicly levelled allegations amount to gross indiscipline and flouting of government rules and we will take appropriate action against him,’’ Roy said.The reaction from the Raj Bhavan was also on similar lines. ‘‘Roy has not been keeping well and has not been attending duty for the past 3 days. Charges levelled by him are baseless,’’ a statement issued from the Raj Bhavan said, adding that ‘‘The Raj Bhavan does not enter into any controversy.’’ Earlier, Shah had been charged with misbehaviour towards a noted Bengali author and a minister.
