The vigilance and anti-corruption wing of Assam Police is finding it hard to track down the huge amount of money and assets belonging to the prime accused in the NC Hills multi-crore scam, R H Khan, that are hidden in several locations.
Following inputs, anti-corruption sleuths raided two places on Wednesday night but it ended in a wild goose chase. The two places raided simultaneously by the sleuths were the house of one Hari Borah at Borbari area and the plot of Nur Islam at Satgaon area of the city. However, nothing was found in the raids.
"We have information about the locations where R H Khan might have hidden his black money and on the basis of these leads, we made the last two raids. We have to act according to inputs but one can't expect success in every move. We have more information and we should hit upon something concrete soon," said a senior official of the anti-corruption wing. Both the Wednesday operations were meticulous — the sleuths stripped the walls, floors and even opened septic tanks during the searches.
Sources said that Hari Borah had bought the raided property some six months ago from a businessman who was close to R H Khan. "No incriminatory evidence was found from the house of Islam. We interrogated both of them," added the source.
Earlier, in August, the anti-corruption wing had raided the Tarun Nagar residence of R H Khan. With the NIA and the CBI bringing him to book, the court of special judge, Assam, issued a search warrant against him in connection with a corruption case. The CBI charged Khan with misappropriation of funds allotted for the social welfare department of the hills district.
Khan, who has been lodged in Central Jail, Guwahati, since 2009, was arrested by NIA when his role in siphoning off several crores of public funds to Dimasa militants was detected by the investigation agency.
