GUwahati, An Assam civic serve ship's officer, arrested for allegedly possessing wealthiness disproportional to her income, had amassed assets 400 times more than her known sources of income, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Tuesday. He said penal measures beyond suspension or dismissal from the job are being pursued to ensure that the officer is held accountable as per law. ACS officer Nupur Borah was arrested by the CM’s Special Vigilance Cell after searches at her residences led to the recovery of over ₹92.50 lakh in cash and ornaments worth nearly ₹1.5 crore on Monday. Borah was posted as Circle Officer in Goraimari in Kamrup district at the time of her arrest. “She had amassed wealth 400 times more than her known sources of income. We think that not just suspension or dismissal from the job would suffice. We have to ensure penal measures through the legal process,” Sarma told reporters on the sidelines of a programme in Baksa district. Several others were also involved, and they are being questioned, the chief minister said. “It is my request to the public to be vigilant and inform us if any official asks for bribes,” he added. Sarma said Borah had been under survelliance for the last six months when she had authorised an illegal land transfer deal while posted as Circle Officer in Barpeta, for which she was shifted out of the district later. Meanwhile, Senior Superintendent of Police, CM’s Special Vigilance Cell, Rosie Kalita, said in Guwahati that Borah has been arrested on the basis of a preliminary inquiry. “We had searched her flat in Guwahati and a rented accommodation in Barpeta, recovering over ₹92.50 lakh in cash. It is the largest amount of cash recovered by our cell so far,” she said.
