The complaint was submitted by the ED before the court of the Special Judge, Assam, under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA).

Bora, who was earlier posted as Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development) in Kamrup (Metropolitan) district, has since been dismissed from government service.

According to the agency, the investigation originates from a case registered by the Chief Minister's Special Vigilance Cell under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The FIR accused Bora of possessing assets disproportionate to her known sources of income.

Vigilance authorities had earlier filed a chargesheet in the matter, and the special court in Guwahati has taken cognisance of the case. Trial proceedings are currently underway.

The Enforcement Directorate alleged that Bora, who joined the Assam Civil Service in 2015 with a monthly salary of about Rs 38,000, accumulated movable and immovable assets worth nearly Rs 7.94 crore between March 2017 and February 2023.

Investigators said the assets were around 786.26 per cent higher than her known legitimate income.

The probe further claimed that during her tenure in various posts, including as Circle Officer in the Hajo Revenue Circle, Bora allegedly accepted illegal gratification from individuals seeking land-related services such as mutation, registration and permission for land sale.

The agency also alleged that the proceeds of crime were laundered through benami property purchases and routed through bank accounts belonging to family members as well as a salon business.

Earlier, the ED had provisionally attached assets worth around Rs 7.33 crore under the PMLA. The attachment included multiple land parcels in Assam, a residential flat in Guwahati and bank deposits.
