In a significant development in the ongoing investigation into a land document scam, Lakhyajyoti Das, the Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) of Nagaon, faced a rigorous session of questioning at the hands of the Crime Branch. As a figure of considerable influence in the administrative echelons of Nagaon, Das’s interrogation marks a crucial step in the unraveling of the complexities behind the scam.
In conjunction with the grilling of ADC Das, the Crime Branch also conducted a thorough examination of Lakhyajyoti Duwari, the Deputy Secretary of the Health Education Department. Duwari, like Das, is under intense scrutiny for his alleged involvement in the scandal that has sent ripples through the bureaucratic framework of the region.
Both Das and Duwari have previously held positions of authority that would have placed them at the very heart of administrative operations concerning land documentation. Their past roles as circle officers in the Dispur Revenue Circle office are now under the microscope, as this was the period during which the alleged land document forgery took place.
The scam in question pertains to the illegal manipulation and forgery of land documents, a criminal activity that has significant implications for property ownership and governance in the region. The involvement of high-ranking officials in such malpractices not only undermines the integrity of the administrative process but also jeopardizes public trust in the institutions meant to safeguard their rights.
The gravity of the situation is underscored by the fact that, following the interrogation sessions, both Das and Duwari face a high likelihood of arrest. This outcome would serve as a testament to the law enforcement’s commitment to uphold justice and could potentially act as a deterrent to corrupt practices among other officials.
The interrogation and potential subsequent arrests of Das and Duwari send a clear message to civil servants and the public alike: corrupt activities will not be tolerated, and those in positions of power will be held accountable for their actions. This episode serves as a critical juncture in the fight against bureaucratic corruption and could pave the way for more transparent and accountable governance.
As the Crime Branch continues its meticulous investigation, the citizens of Nagaon and the broader region watch closely, anticipating the enforcement of justice. The outcomes of such high-profile interrogations will undoubtedly influence the future administrative conduct and reinforce the mechanisms that protect the integrity of land ownership and documentation processes. The hope is that this will be a defining moment in establishing a more ethical and responsible bureaucratic culture.
