Dhruva Saikia Guwahati | March 28 The present BJP government in Assam, in its bid to curb widespread corruption plaguing the administration, today nabbed a senior official in the Assam secretariat on charges of bribery. The Anti-Corruption and Vigilance wing of the Assam Police on Tuesday arrested Irrigation department Secretary Pujendra Doley from his Dispur office premises who had allegedly sought bribe to clear ceiling to state government employees. Adding to this, the official had allegedly kept around 300 files in his custody and charged a hefty sum to clear them. The Sonowal led BJP government in Assam caught the people’s imagination when the APSC chairman Rakesh Paul and his accomplices were put behind bars on charges of creating a market for Assam civil service jobs that had flourished for decades. BJP leader and renowned lawyer Bijon Mahajan has been entrusted with the task of public prosecutor to steer the legal battle against Paul, who has filed a bail petition before Supreme Court of India with Congress leader and advocate Kapil Sibal as legal adviser. Meanwhile, Guwahati Railway Police on Tuesday, acting on a tip-off, seized 4.5 kilogram gold smuggled via the Rajdhani Express from Rajasthan. The market price of the seized gold amounts to Rs 1.35 crore. Two persons identified as Ashok Sharma and Bhagirath were arrested by the police.
