Neighbors and others who live near Dr. R.C. Samanta Roy's property in the Town of Wescott say they have seen frequent activity going on there over the years, including digging, excavation and the delivery of cement and steel beams.

The activity has fueled rumors that Samanta Roy and his group have been building extensive underground tunnels, and even bunkers.

"I've heard those rumors," said Shawano County Planning Director Tim Reed. "I'm not aware of anything that would indicate that. I can't say with certainty that they don't exist. I'm just saying we've seen no indication of it."

Town of Wescott Assessor Paul Hahn, who last inspected the property in 2002, said there were no tunnels.

County says Samanta Roy property is 'in compliance.'

Despite rumors and speculation to the contrary, all of the construction activity that has taken place on Dr. R.C. Samanta Roy's Frailing Road property in the Town of Wescott has a legitimate explanation and the appropriate permits, according to Shawano County.
