ED aims to confiscate illegal assets of accused
The enforcement directorate, probing the multi-crore rupees scam of North Cachar Hills district has found evidences of huge amount of government fund being siphoned off and transferred to Nepal and Singapore after converting it into dollars at Kolkata through Hawala operators.
Disclosing that enforcement directorate has already examined nine out of 13 accused of the multi-crore rupees scam, sources told this newspaper that prime accused of multi-crore rupees scam R.H. Khan was a Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) but the state government not only posted him as deputy director in the North Cachar Hills district but also authorised him with financial power in the autonomous district council.
Referring the findings of Enforcement Directorate, security sources said that his posting on higher post even after being a very junior officer of the state government is also an indicator of his clout in the state’s political circle. The enforcement directorate is also preparing the list of Khan’s disproportionate assets and summoned his brother for interrogation. Khan, who is languishing at the central jail in Guwahati, has also confessed to have withdrawn the fund from the council in the name of suppliers firms. The investigation has revealed that firms claiming to be of suppliers were released funds as advance.
The Enforcement Directorate, which has found evidences that Mohit Hojai was appointed chief of the district council at the behest of DHD(J) rebels, has also written a letter to the additional director-general special branch of the Assam police to present Dimsa chief Jewel Garlosa at the central jail for interrogation. The DHD chief has been shifted to a guesthouse of the special branch of the Assam police from the central jail in Guwahati.
