Overview
- The Enforcement Directorate’s Guwahati unit issued a provisional attachment under the PMLA covering six immovable properties linked to former Excise Secretary Indreswar Kalita.
- Investigators are acting on a CMSVC FIR and chargesheet that calculated assets at 131.12% above Kalita’s known income for the 2000–2018 check period.
- ED findings allege purchases were made in the names of his wife and other family members lacking matching income to obscure beneficial ownership.
- Sale deeds were allegedly undervalued, and a G+4 commercial‑cum‑residential building built in 2015–2018 for about Rs 4.46 crore was used to integrate suspected proceeds through rental income and loan repayments.
- Bank reviews flagged unexplained cash deposits of Rs 15.24 lakh in Kalita’s account and Rs 16.92 lakh in his wife’s account, with one attached property reported on Zoo Road in Guwahati as the probe continues.
