The state govt is coming down heavily on Congress heavyweight Rockybul Hussain. Orders have been issued to find out properties of Hussain and his relatives and figure out if there are any wrongdoings while purchasing these assets.
Reports say that after Congressman Anil Raja’s allegations the Vigilance department and Anti-corruption department has filed a case and started an investigation. The Vigilance department wanted to know about Hussain’s properties spread all over Assam. They sent a letter to the Home Department, Assam, to help them with the investigation. The government got active after this letter from the department.
According to reports the Home Department has sent letters to all the Revenue Circles and even the Deputy Commissioners have been intimated. The letter directs the Circle Offices to find out any property in the name of Rockybul Hussain, Naznin Hussain (wife) and Tanzir Hussain and inform about the same to the government.
Recently, a land deal was found in the name of Hussain’s wife in Lakhimpur.
Earlier the Vigilance and Anti-corruption department of the Assam Police had initiated an investigation based on Anil Raja’s allegations and had confiscated important documents from Nagaon, Samaguri and other places for examination. Interestingly, the Vigilance department’s findings point out that all the details of Rocky’s or his relatives’ properties date from 2002 to 2015 – the duration when Rockybul Hussain was a minister in the Congress Government.
Moreover, the allegations by Anil Raja against Hussain might hold some ground if the government agencies are able to find substantial evidence against Rockybul.
Raja had alleged that during his tenure as Forest Minster, Rockybul Hussain had amassed a lot of assets in the name of his near and dear ones. Raja accused Rocky of buying properties in Delhi, Gurgaon, Bangalore, Nagaon, Guwahati and Dubai.
