Rs 2.4 Crore Cash, Jwellery Seized from Assam Officer's Home

Guwahati- An Assam Civil Service (ACS) officer, arrested for allegedly possessing wealth disproportionate to her income, had amassed assets 400 times more than her known sources of income, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Tuesday.

He said penal measures beyond suspension or dismissal from the job are being pursued to ensure that the officer is held accountable as per law.

ACS officer Nupur Bora was arrested by the CM's Special Vigilance Cell after searches at her residences led to the recovery of over Rs 92.50 lakh in cash and ornaments worth nearly Rs 1.5 crore on Monday.

Bora was posted as Circle Officer in Goraimari in Kamrup district at the time of her arrest.

“She had amassed wealth 400 times more than her known sources of income. We think that not just suspension or dismissal from the job would suffice. We have to ensure penal measures through the legal process,” Sarma told reporters on the sidelines of a programme in Baksa district.

Several others were also involved, and they are being questioned, the chief minister said.
