He was taken into custody by the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID) following departmental and criminal proceedings against him. Earlier, the BJP had filed a case against him demanding action. At the time of his arrest, Bora was posted as deputy commandant of a police battalion in Assam's Karbi Anglong district.

Assam's Director General of Police (DGP) Mukesh Sahay said the law would take its own course in the matter. He said that any act, unbecoming of a government servant, amounts to violation of the conduct rules. Bora has since been granted bail after furnishing a bond of Rs.10, 000. (ANI)
