Officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested former Assam Chief Minister Hiteswar Saikia's son Ashok Saikia today in a 1998 case of alleged loan default.
Ashok Saikia is the brother of Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Assam Assembly Debabrata Saikia.
A team of CBI officials raided his Dispur residence today and arrested him. Mr Saikia will be presented in a CBI special court tomorrow, they said.
Sources said the raid was carried out on the basis of a case registered at Guwahati's Paltan Bazar Police Station by employees of Assam State Co-operative and Agriculture Development (ASCARD) Bank in 1998 for non-repayment of the loan amount. The CBI took over the case in 2001.
