Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached ₹7.33 crore in movable and immovable assets belonging to Sukanya Bora, a suspended Assam Civil Service officer, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
  • The ED investigation stems from an FIR filed by Assam’s CM’s Special Vigilance Cell under the Prevention of Corruption Act, alleging Bora accumulated ₹8.14 crore in assets disproportionate to her known income between 2017 and 2023.
  • Financial probes revealed ₹98.66 lakh in unexplained cash deposits into the bank accounts of Bora and her parents, and ₹3.25 crore in cash payments for properties purchased in relatives’ names.
  • Bora’s methods allegedly included layering proceeds of crime through bank transfers and gift deeds, with one property transferred back to her by her father.
  • The 35-year-old officer, arrested in January 2024 and currently suspended, was last posted as Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development) in Kamrup (Metropolitan) district, Assam, with further investigations ongoing.
