Dhubri Revenue Official Accused in Land Mutation Scam

Guwahati: A land mutation scam is rocking the Dhubri Revenue Circle Office. Authorities accuse Land Revenue Supervisor Nur Islam Sarkar of gaming the system. He allegedly took a single, legitimate sale deed from 2003 and used it to push through multiple land mutation approvals for different buyers.

The original deed covered a plot in Kachuarkhash village. Investigators claim Sarkar applied that same document number to three separate parcels of land in Jhagrarpar. The plots had no link to the original 2003 transaction. He effectively moved land records between villages to back fake ownership claims.

Questions now mount about how the fraud went unnoticed for so long. Critics want to know why the system failed to flag the repeat use of a single registration number. "The case has raised concerns over possible tampering with official land records and the safeguards governing archived revenue documents."

Calls for action are getting louder. Officials are under pressure to launch a full investigation into every mutation cleared during Sarkar's time in the office. A complete audit of the Dhubri records remains the only way to find out how deep the rot goes.
