In MPLAD Fund Scam Case Registered Against MP Ajit Bhuyan

Assam; The Chief Minister’s Vigilance Cell on Tuesday registered a case against MP Ajit Bhuyan and 13 others in connection with the Members of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD) fund scam in Assam.

This case has been registered by the Chief Minister’s Vigilance Cell in the Court of Special Judge. The case relates to allegations of graft and corruption.
The accused include high-ranking officials like ACS Sharmistha Bora and Hemanta Dutta.

Earlier on March 18, at least four ACS officers were suspended in connection with the MPLAD fund scam.
According to sources, funds were allocated from the MPLAD fund of MP Bhuyan for the construction of the road in Barpeta, Assam. However, the bill was issued without completing 75% of the work.

The scam came to light when the Chief Minister’s Special Vigilance Cell conducted an investigation where it was found that four suspended officers had signed the bill before 75 percent of the road construction work was completed.
MP Construction Fund Committee was chaired by Additional Commissioner of Kamrup Sukanya Bora.

It should be noted that there is an amount of one billion rupees for this. For the construction of three roads in Barpeta, an amount of Rs 28 lakh was allocated from the MPLAD fund of Rajya Sabha MP Ajit Kumar Bhuyan.

However, these three roads were not constructed and the allocated funds were withdrawn by submitting fake road construction bills.
