Land of trouble for Rockybul

NAGAON: A team of chief minister’s anti corruption and vigilance cell is raiding Rockybul Hussain’s properties in Samoguri, Amoni and Puroni Gudam areas on Friday a day after the enquiry in a number of spots in Nagaon town to ascertain the veracity of the allegations of having illegal properties.

Led by SP PJ Goswami along with two DSPs and three inspectors, the team is conducting the enquiry with the help of revenue officials on Friday also. The enquiry is likely to continue on Saturday since the team is camping at the Nagaon Circuit House.

The former minister, however, dared the government to institute an enquiry saying that he was ready to face any punishment. “Let them probe. Let them assess my properties. I have nothing to hide. I will cooperate any enquiry,” said Hussain.

Three months back a party colleague Anil Raja accused Hussain of earning huge properties during his stint as a minister. Then the vigilance cell collected the list of the properties produced before the media and took up the investigation.
