Overview

  • The Chief Minister’s Special Vigilance Cell arrested 2019-batch officer Nupur Bora in Guwahati on September 15 on charges of possessing assets disproportionate to her income.
  • Raids across four locations recovered about ₹92.5 lakh in cash and gold and diamond jewellery valued near ₹1–2 crore, with currency verification underway.
  • Searches at a rented house in Barpeta and premises linked to alleged aide Lat Mandal Surajit Deka yielded roughly ₹10 lakh more in cash, and he was detained for questioning.

  • Investigators say bank lockers and additional assets are under scrutiny and more seizures are possible, while the CM alleged her holdings were far beyond her known income, citing a “400 times” figure.
