💰 Raids Reveal Hidden Wealth
In a massive crackdown, the Chief Minister’s Special Vigilance Cell carried out simultaneous raids at four locations linked to Assam Civil Services officer Nupur Bora.
- Over ₹92.5 lakh in cash was seized.
- Gold jewellery worth lakhs was also recovered.
- Raids took place at her residence in Guwahati and her rented house in Barpeta.
According to Vigilance Cell SP Rosie Kalita, Bora was taken into custody after the recovery.
🏛 Who is Nupur Bora?
Age: 36
Hometown: Golaghat, Assam
Service: 2019 batch ACS officer
Career:
- Started as Assistant Commissioner in Karbi Anglong (2019).
- Posted as Circle Officer in Barpeta in June 2023.
- Recently transferred to Circle Officer in Kamrup district’s Goroimari.
From being photographed alongside political leaders to now facing serious allegations, Bora’s fall from grace has shocked many in Assam’s bureaucracy.
⚖️ CM Himanta’s Explosive Allegations
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma claimed Bora had been under government surveillance for the past six months.
“She was transferring Hindu lands to Muslims by taking money in return. We observed her routine closely and found massive corruption in minority-dominated revenue circles,” Sarma alleged.
The CM added that such cases highlight the urgent need for stricter monitoring of land transfers in Assam.
🏠 The Land Transfer Controversy
The controversy isn’t just about hidden cash and gold—it’s tied to land transfers between communities:
- Assam’s government had already restricted land sales between Hindus and Muslims without higher-level approval.
- Last month, the state cabinet approved a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for inter-religious land transfers.
- The SOP includes checks by the Special Branch of Assam Police on coercion, funding sources, social cohesion, and national security implications.
The CM alleges Bora bypassed these rules for personal profit.
🔍 What’s Next for Bora?
With massive wealth recovered and corruption allegations mounting, Bora’s case could lead to:
- Suspension or dismissal from service.
- Criminal proceedings under anti-corruption laws.
- A larger probe into land transfer scams in Barpeta and other minority-dominated areas.
⚡ The Bigger Picture
This case has ignited debate across Assam:
- How deep does corruption run in the state’s land administration?
- Are minority-dominated districts more vulnerable to illegal land transfers?
- Will this case push the government to tighten rules further?
Note:- 👉 This raid and arrest have not only exposed hidden cash and gold but also stirred a political storm in Assam. For many, the Nupur Bora case is a stark reminder that power and corruption often walk hand in hand.
