Nupur Bora is accused of facilitating illegal land registrations and amassing disproportionate wealth, with over Rs 2 crore in cash and gold seized during raids by Assam's Special Vigilance Cell.
- Nupur Bora, a 36-year-old Assam Civil Service officer from Golaghat district, was taken into custody on Monday after police conducted raids at four locations linked to her, uncovering close to ₹92.5 lakh in cash and gold valuables estimated to be worth around ₹2 crore.
- The raids followed a six-month investigation spurred by complaints and a formal complaint from activist group KMSS alleging Bora accepted bribes to facilitate illegal land transfers, especially from Hindus to Muslims in Barpeta district.
- Authorities uncovered records suggesting that Bora charged specific fees for various land-related services, starting at Rs 1,500 for maps and going up to Rs 200,000 for modifications to names in land documents. Additionally, raids were conducted on Surajit Deka, an associate working at the Barpeta Revenue Circle.
- Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the officer was under surveillance for months and stressed the government is taking stern action against widespread corruption in minority-dominated revenue offices.
- The operation signals a crackdown on alleged misuse of power in land administration and may influence enforcement of recent Assam government rules regulating inter-religious land transfers.
