The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint against former Assam Civil Service (ACS) officer Sukanya Bora in a money laundering case. Bora, who was dismissed from service, is accused of amassing assets disproportionate to her income. The case originated from an FIR by the Chief Minister’s Special Vigilance Cell (CMSVC) of Assam Police under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
The ED investigation revealed that Bora, who joined the Assam Civil Service in 2015, allegedly acquired assets worth around Rs 7.94 crore between March 2017 and February 2023. These assets were deemed significantly higher than her legitimate income. Bora is also accused of collecting illegal gratification during her various postings, including as a Circle Officer in Hajo Revenue Circle.
Proceeds of the alleged crime were reportedly laundered through benami property transactions and bank accounts of family members and a salon business. The ED had earlier attached assets worth about Rs 7.33 crore, including land parcels and a flat in Guwahati, along with bank deposits. Further investigations into the case are ongoing.
