Nupur Bora, an India — Assam Civil Service officer, was arrested by the Chief Minister's Special Vigilance Cell for allegedly possessing wealth disproportionate to her income, estimated at ₹2 crore in cash and gold. She was under surveillance for six months, accused of facilitating illegal registration of government and Satra land in Barpeta district to suspected illegal settlers. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that Nupur Bora had amassed wealth 400 times her official earnings. The Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti, led by Akhil Gogoi, filed a complaint against Nupur Bora, detailing a 'rate card' for land-related services. Raids were also conducted at the residence of her alleged aide, Surajit Deka, who is accused of colluding with Nupur Bora in dubious land deals. The investigation is ongoing, with the possibility of further revelations and arrests.
