A FORMER chief mnister of Mizoram state is now under the investigation of State’s Anti Corruption Bureau, following public interest litigation (PIL) filed by the anti corruption organization named PRISM.

Zoramthanga, ex-chief minister of Mizoram is suspected to have misused his official powers for personal gain and accumulating assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.

PRISM lodged a first information report (FIR) in June, 2007 with the State ACB which refused to investigate it. Prism filed a PIL at Gauhati High Court against the Government of Mizoram and its investigating agency.

Gauhati High Court passed a judgment that the ACB will investigate the case in 4 months. Prism is the most active corruption watchdog in Mizoram which filed 8 PILs and more than 30 FIRs relating to corruptions.
