Gauhati High Court Grants Bail to Amlan Bora in Rs 2000 Crore Scam Case

Guwahati, Assam – Amlan Bora, implicated in a Rs 2000 crore scam case involving his brother Tarkik Bora and sister-in-law Sumi Bora, has been granted bail by the Gauhati High Court and released from jail today. Bora, who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Jharkhand, had spent 57 days in judicial custody.

The bail petition was argued by advocates Sarfraz Nawaz, Samim Rahman, and Pakeeza Khatun, who contended that Amlan Bora was unaware of any fraudulent activities linked to the scam’s primary suspect, Bishal Phukan. They emphasized that Bora was out of town on work during the period of the alleged crimes, and upon his return on September 12, 2024, he voluntarily reported to the CID office, where he was subsequently detained.

The petition highlighted Bora’s cooperation with the investigation, stating, “The accused has been interrogated multiple times and has cooperated fully. Further custodial detention is unnecessary for the investigation.”

Bora’s arrest on September 11, 2024, was part of a broader probe led by Assam’s Director General of Police, GP Singh, targeting the alleged financial misconduct involving Tarkik Bora and Sumi Bora, who remain in jail. The couple, transferred to Guwahati Central Jail from Dibrugarh, had their judicial custody extended after the CBI chose not to assume their custody, and they were presented before a Guwahati court on Friday.

This case continues to unfold as authorities intensify efforts to uncover the scope of the financial scam and hold those responsible accountable.
