Assam: ACS Officer Reinstated into Service after Suspension
Guwahati, 18th March: Saibar Rahman, an ACS officer who was suspended in 2021 following an investigation by the Chief Minister’s Special Vigilance Cell, has been reinstated into service. Rahman’s suspension stemmed from allegations related to the Gaon Bura scam, misuse of government funds, and accumulation of wealth beyond legal sources of income, resulting in his arrest.
Rahman was implicated in three cases (3/21, 5/21, and 7/21), but his reinstatement came after the Vigilance Cell failed to file a case report within the specified time frame, leading to the charges not materializing and Rahman’s subsequent release from jail.
In an order issued by the Department of Personnel, Government of Assam, Rahman was reinstated on March 16, with the order stating, “Without prejudice to the departmental proceedings and criminal proceedings drawn up against Shri Saibar Rahman, ACS (DR-2002), who was placed under suspension… is hereby re-instated in service.”
Upon his reinstatement, Rahman has been assigned the position of Deputy Secretary to the Government of Assam in the Science, Technology, and Climate Change Department, effective from the date of taking over charge.
