In 2007, the Central Bureau of Investigation told the Supreme Court of India that Subba's nationality was in doubt, and that existing citizenship proofs were forged. However, the court rejected a petition seeking his disqualification from the Parliamentary election, stating that the court "cannot unseat legislators". Before moving to Assam, M. K. Subba stayed in Sikkim for a while, where he is alleged to have come from Nepal. In Sikkim he is alleged to have run a chit fund company, then moved to Assam. In between he partnered in a 5 star Casino hotel The Royal Plaza in Gangtok, Sikkim, which after his death has some property dispute going on.
