Guwahati, Oct 5: Assam Police’s Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Raunak Ali Hazarika has been arrested by the Chief Minister’s Special Vigilance Cell in connection with a Disproportionate Assets (DA) case.
Rounak Ali Hazarika was suspended in July for making numerous foreign trips, without any prior permission from the Home Department of Assam Government, since joining Assam Police Service (APS).
A team led by CM Vigilance Cell SP Rosy Kalita reached at Hazarika’s residence in Hengrabari and arrested him on Tuesday.
A notification issued by the Home and Political Affairs Department said Hazarika had flouted government guidelines on several occasions. “…..The Governor of Assam, in exercise of powers conferred by the clauses of the All India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1969, hereby places Sri Hazarika under suspension with immediate effect,” the order said.
Hazarika had joined the Assam Police Service (APS) in 1992.
