Assam Pradesh Congress Youth Committee President Angkita Dutta has been removed from the post. Angkita had recently taken to social media and wrote about corruption in the party.

Dutta, daughter of late Congress veteran Anjan Dutta, was appointed as the president of Assam Pradesh Congress Youth Committee last year.

Angkita is the Director of Anubhuti Printers & Publications Pvt Ltd, that was formed out of then Saradha Publications Pvt Ltd. She was summoned in connection with the funding case for printing their then Bengali news daily ‘Sakalbela, at Anubhuti Press at Guwahti during the year 2012 – 2013. Her father was also grilled by the CBI in connection with the multi-crore-rupee Saradha scam in 2014. Late Anjan Dutta was summoned to give details about his printing business which used to print a Bengali newspaper – Sakalbela and other materials for jailed Saradha promoter and purported scam kingpin Sudipta Sen.
