Nath is the father of one of the job aspirants, who paid Rs 6 lakhs to the doctor for a job in the Indian railways.
Nath has also alleged that he had transferred half of the amount to the bank account of Rajeev Parashar in Sixmile, Guwahati.
Guwahati crime branch sleuths had arrested Parashar in October for taking money from candidates for various public service recruitment examinations.
Although a police team had gone to the accused’s residence for questioning on Tuesday, she was absent from her home.
Hazarika is reportedly on casual leave for Guwahati to evade arrest.
