According to sources, a huge sum of money was allegedly misappropriated from the funds meant for the construction of the Games Village and related documents were sought by the CAG.
The GMDA came to know about the theft on April 18 when it re-opened after Bihu holidays and subsequently filed an FIR.
On Saturday, the police produced a note left behind by the burglar.According to the police, the burglar wrote in the note he had come to break into the treasury of GMDA. As the mystery continued, Assam’s Health and GMDA minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Sunday that there was nothing to worry.
“A reliable source had told me ahead of the recently-concluded elections that a man could steal documents from either GMDA or Guwahati Medical College and Hospital. So, we had two sets of the original documents,” Sarma told a press conference. “I will tell the police of the man if they want.”
The AGP and the AASU have demanded a CBI inquiry into the incident. “Our stand is very clear that a CBI probe can only solve the mystery,” AASU advisor Samujjal Bhattacharjee told DNA.
“The disappearance of the files from the office of GMDA only suggests that the Tarun Gogoi-led government is involved in thescam,” AGP spokesperson Apurba Bhattacharjee said.
