Land Scam: Cachar Police summons DC office employee for interrogation

Big breaking news coming in from the heart of the town. The operation against land scams in Silchar has dragged to the deputy commissioner’s office.

If sources are to be believed, Prannoy Chakraborty, Senior Assistant Deputy Commissioner’s office – Permission branch is being interrogated at Silchar Sadar Police Station. According to available information, Chakraborty has been summoned today at 11:00 AM and till now he is in the Police Station.

Sources in deputy commissioner’s office informed that for the last 25 years at least, he has remained associated with the permission branch. Even if he was transferred to other offices within Cachar district, he stayed attached with the permission department which raises many questions.

Police sources informed that he has been summoned in connection with a land scam in Berenga Part II.

He lodged an FIR at Silchar Sadar Police Station and based on that, on November 21, Cachar Police arrested arrested Sahin Barbhuiya, who worked as the assistant of Mohrib of this particular deal.
