Who is Nupur Bora? Assam Officer Arrested After Rs 92 Lakh Cash and Rs 2 Crore Jewellery Seized

16 September, 2025 11:58

On Monday, September 15, 2025, the Special Vigilance Cell of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma carried out a major raid in Guwahati. The raid took place at the home of Assam Civil Service (ACS) officer Nupur Bora. Officials recovered Rs 92 lakh cash and jewellery worth nearly Rs 2 crore from her residence. She was arrested soon after the recovery.

How the Raid Happened

The raid was first planned on Sunday night, but it was postponed because Bora was not at home. The operation started early Monday when she returned. Later, the search was extended to three other locations linked to her, including a rented house in Barpeta. Searches are still going on.

Allegations Against Nupur Bora

Nupur Bora had been under watch for the last six months. Complaints said she was involved in illegal land dealings when she was posted as a circle officer in Barpeta. She was accused of registering government and Satra land in the names of suspected illegal settlers, also called “Miya.”

The Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS), led by MLA Akhil Gogoi, earlier filed a complaint against her. They alleged that she kept a “rate card” for land-related work. Reports claimed that she charged bribes ranging from Rs 1,500 for land maps to Rs 2 lakh for changing land records.

What the Vigilance Cell Found

Rosy Kalita, SP of the vigilance cell, led the operation. She said the raid is only the first step. The seized cash, ornaments, and property papers are being examined. Investigators believe more hidden wealth could be found.

Along with Bora, another officer named Surajit Deka, a land mandal in Barpeta, is also facing raids for corruption charges.

Assam CM’s Response

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reacted strongly. He said his government is serious about stopping corruption. “My government is resolute in ensuring that corruption is brought to a halt and brings transparency in administration,” he stated.

Who is Nupur Bora?

Nupur Bora has served in government for only six years. Yet, she allegedly built up wealth far beyond her official income. Reports say she owns several properties, and papers for these were also seized during the raids. Authorities believe the investigation will reveal even more hidden assets and could lead to more arrests.
