The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002 before a special court in Assam against former Assam Civil Service (ACS) officer Sukanya Bora, alleging accumulation of disproportionate assets worth about Rs 7.94 crore. The ED’s Guwahati zonal office registered the case after a preliminary first information report filed earlier by the chief minister’s vigilance cell under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 prompted the central agency’s probe. Bora, who was dismissed from service on corruption charges, was arrested while posted as Additional Deputy Commissioner of Kamrup (Metro) district. The special court in Assam is currently hearing related proceedings.
According to ED sources, Bora joined the Assam Civil Service in 2015 on a monthly salary of Rs 38,000 but allegedly amassed immovable and movable assets valued at approximately Rs 7.94 crore between March 2017 and February 2023. The investigating agency claims these holdings are 786.26% higher than her known lawful income. The ED’s complaint alleges that Bora collected illegal payments from members of the public in return for official acts such as attestation, registration and permissions for land transactions while holding various posts, including Circle Officer of Hajo revenue circle.
The probe further alleges that the illicit funds were laundered through benami transactions, routed via bank accounts of family members, and partially disguised through a salon business. Earlier, the ED had provisionally attached assets worth around Rs 7.33 crore under the PMLA; that provisional attachment was later confirmed by the adjudicating authority in New Delhi. The attached assets include plots in Morigaon, Baghbor and Hatigaon in Guwahati, a flat in Jayanagar, and a bank account with deposits totaling about Rs 65.54 lakh.
The ED says its investigation into Bora’s alleged financial crimes is ongoing and it will pursue further inquiries to trace the origin and movement of the contested assets. The case underscores continuing anti-corruption and money-laundering enforcement efforts in Assam and may have wider implications for administrative accountability in the state.
