“The Central Income Tax Department carried out a nearly 24-hour-long raid on jewellery shop owner Nupur Saha at Rangali Residency in Dhubri, amid allegations of large-scale financial irregularities. A team of around 10 officials meticulously examined the accounts and assets of Saha’s business premises, raising serious questions about the source of his wealth and his business practices. The operation, which sealed the showroom and interrogated employees, is part of a larger crackdown targeting Saha’s business network. Saha is accused of embezzling crores from Assam government contracts—particularly from the Social Welfare Department and projects for Scheduled Tribes—which were allegedly laundered to fund business ventures in Guwahati, Dhubri, and Barpeta. Investigators have focused on what they call the ‘white business of black money.’ This is not Saha’s first run-in with officials; the Enforcement Directorate had previously raided his firms in Guwahati. The Income Tax investigation is ongoing, with authorities continuing to scrutinize Saha’s financial records and assets.”
