Officials said Bora, who previously served as Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development) in Kamrup Metropolitan district, has been charged under Section 3 of the PMLA, which is punishable under Section 4. The ED's investigation stems from an FIR registered by the Vigilance Police Station of the Chief Minister's Special Vigilance Cell (CMSVC), Assam Police, under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, alleging possession of assets disproportionate to her known sources of income.

The vigilance authorities had earlier filed a chargesheet, and the Special Court in Guwahati has taken cognisance of the matter, with trial proceedings currently underway.

According to the ED, Bora, who joined the Assam Civil Service in 2015 with a monthly salary of approximately Rs 38,000, allegedly amassed movable and immovable assets worth around Rs 7.94 crore between March 2017 and February 2023. The agency stated that the assets were disproportionate to her known income by nearly 786.26%.

Investigators further alleged that during her tenure in various postings, including as Circle Officer of Hajo Revenue Circle, Bora collected illegal gratification from individuals seeking land-related services such as mutation, registration, and sale permissions. These proceeds were allegedly laundered through a network of benami transactions, layering funds via bank accounts of family members, and routing money through a salon business.

Earlier, the ED had provisionally attached properties worth about Rs 7.33 crore under the PMLA. The attachment was subsequently confirmed by the Adjudicating Authority in New Delhi. The assets include land parcels in Morigaon, Baghorbari and Hatigaon in Guwahati, a flat in Jayanagar, and a bank account with a balance of approximately Rs 65.54 lakh.

Officials said further investigation in the case is in progress.
