In a decisive move to combat corruption in Assam, the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption department successfully apprehended a senior assistant from the Deputy Inspector of Schools’ office in Dhemaji. The individual, identified as Diganta Gogoi, was arrested on charges of bribery.
According to official sources, Gogoi was caught red-handed while accepting an illicit payment from a complainant. The bribe was meant for the facilitation of pension-related procedures. The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption team had laid a trap, which led to the immediate capture of Gogoi as he received the bribe in his office.
This arrest forms a part of the broader efforts by the Assam government to eliminate corrupt practices within its departments. The authorities have assured that a thorough investigation is currently underway to uncover further details and possibly implicate other involved parties.
This incident underlines the ongoing issues of corruption that plague administrative processes in the state. The proactive measures by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption unit, however, signify a robust commitment to addressing and uprooting corruption.
As investigations proceed, more insights into the extent of Gogoi’s illicit activities and any additional complicity are expected to emerge. This crackdown aims to serve as a stern warning to other officials against engaging in corrupt practices, reinforcing the state’s zero-tolerance policy on corruption.
The government has reiterated its dedication to maintaining integrity within its ranks, ensuring that public services are administered without undue influence or malfeasance. This incident is being closely monitored, and further updates are anticipated as the investigation progresses.
