In a recent development, Assam Governor Gulab Chand Kataria has appointed Jibesh Roy from Dhubri district as the new Chief Executive Councilor of the Kamatapur Autonomous Council (KAC). This appointment comes in the wake of Sri Gakul Barman’s resignation from the position. Roy’s new role is effective immediately until further notice.
Jibesh Roy was appointed as Chief Executive Councilor of Kamatapur Autonomous Council in view of resignation tendered by Chief Executive Councilor Gakul Barman, with immediate effect.
In a related note, the Kamatapur Autonomous Council has been grappling with a significant fraud case. In 2023, the Abhayapuri police apprehended Pankaj Das from Bijni in Chirang district.
Das is accused of embezzling Rs 100 crore through fraudulent work orders, which involved forgery of signatures and seals of the KAC principal secretary.
KAC principal secretary Dhruvajyoti Das had filed a First Information Report (FIR) at the Abhayapuri police station, leading to the investigation and arrest of Pankaj Das. However, one suspect in the case remains at large.
