Guwahati: RTI Abuser Dulal Bora Remanded To Five-Day Police Custody

GUWAHATI: In a latest turn of event, under-fire RTI activist Dulal Bora has been remanded to five days of police custody after he was nabbed in Delhi in connection with the suicide of BJP leader Devojit Hazarika from Sonari.

Bora was produced before the Charaideo District Sessions & Judge's Court today. The police have sought a seven-day custody of him but they eventually received five days.

The controversy surrounding Dulal Bora stems from his extortion related activities through RTI activism.

It has been speculated that Bora misused the RTI documents to intimidate officials. His modus operandi involved demanding money from these officials in exchange for withdrawing the complaints.

Bora, who had been on the run, was arrested from a private hospital in Delhi, where he had allegedly admitted himself under the guise of illness.

He was brought back to Guwahati on Thursday night under a transit remand and flown to Assam on IndiGo flight 2095 amidst tight security.

As the aircraft landed in Guwahati, a team of Charaideo police transported him directly from Guwahati to Sonari, where he was taken to the Sonari Police Station for further interrogation.
