Nupur Bora, a young Assam bureaucrat from the 2019 ACS batch, was arrested on Monday in connection with a corruption case involving illegal land transfers in Barpeta. The arrest is part of the BJP-led government’s intensified crackdown on suspected Bangladeshi settlers in the state.
Vigilance raids conducted by the Chief Minister’s cell targeted two of Bora’s apartments in Guwahati’s Gotanagar area, where authorities recovered nearly Rs 1 crore in cash along with diamonds and jewellery valued at several lakhs. Currently serving as the circle officer of Goraimari in Kamrup district, Bora has been taken into custody as investigations continue.
