Already, the BIEO had recovered cash and even conducted searches in properties owned by Barman in Guwahati.
Sources said that Barman approximately owns assets worth several crores of rupees outside the State.

Barman, who managed to secure anticipatory bail in connection with a case registered with CID, was arrested few days back by the BIEO.
