Earlier, in the month of September this year, the Chief Minister’s Special Vigilance Cell (CM’s SVC) raided the office of the Working President of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee and MLA from Karimganj North Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha.
According to reports, the raid was conducted at Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha's tea garden office.
A 10-member team from the CM's SVC searched the office this evening in response to claims that the legislator improperly acquired the tea garden property.
