In 2023, the Abhayapuri police apprehended Pankaj Das from Bijni in Chirang district for his alleged involvement in a massive fraud case concerning the Kamatapur Autonomous Council. Das was accused of embezzling Rs 100 crore through fake work orders, involving the forgery of signatures and seals of the KAC principal secretary. The principal secretary, Dhruvajyoti Das, had lodged an FIR at the Abhayapuri police station, leading to the arrest. However, one of the accused remains absconding.
