Earlier in March, four ACS officers were suspended in connection with the MPLAD money scandal.
Digital Desk: The Chief Minister's Vigilance Cell filed a charge against MP Ajit
Bhuyan and 13 others in connection with the Assam Members of Parliament Local
Area Development (MPLAD) budget scandal on Tuesday.
The case has been filed at the special judge's court by the CM's
supervision cell. The lawsuit concerns charges of corruption and malpractice.
Among those charged are high-ranking officials such as ACS
Sharmistha Bora and Hemanta Dutta.
Earlier in March, four ACS officers were suspended in connection
with the MPLAD money scandal.
According to sources, a money from MP Bhuyan's MPLAD fund has been
given for road building in Assam's Barpeta. However, the bill was not disclosed
until 75 percent of the work was completed.
The swindle was discovered when the CM's Special Vigilance unit
conducted an inquiry and discovered that the four suspended officers signed the
bill before 75 percent of the road construction work was completed.
Sukanya Bora, Additional Commissioner of Kamrup, presided over the
MP Construction Fund Committee.
It should be noted that Rs. 28 lakhs were appropriated from Rajya
Sabha MP Ajit Kumar Bhuyan's MPLAD Fund towards the construction of three roads
in Barpeta.
These three roads, however, were not built, and the allocated cash
were taken away by presenting forged road construction bills.
