Guwahati, Nov 20: A coordinated Enforcement Directorate operation brought locations in Assam and New Delhi under scrutiny as investigators examined a suspected network accused of using forged supply orders issued in the names of Autonomous Councils of Dima Hasao and Mising.
The probe focuses on Rishiraj Kaundinya, Mukesh Jain, Biju Das and others who are alleged to have circulated fabricated documents, including forged purchase orders, signatures, cheques and clearance notes. The alleged orders relate to blankets, tarpaulins, yarn, solar equipment and infrastructure-linked materials.

Investigators said the system under review involved suppliers being drawn in with large-value orders, followed by advance commission collection and diversion of goods without payment. Unpaid dues to suppliers are estimated at ₹9.86 crore, with ₹2.04 crore in commission linked to the transactions.
The agency confirmed that efforts continue to trace proceeds, identify movable and immovable assets and prepare restitution for affected suppliers.
