I'd think your best bet is to ask various vendors whether they could bring this fish in for you or ever seen it on the lists of fish offered to them. Rita are exceedingly rare in the trade and most usually it is Rita rita.

Did I miss something? Why are we mentioning Rita?
You may see a few similar species available such as some glyptothorax or bagarius or other sisorinae but I can’t say I have ever seen either nangra assamensis or nangra nangra for sale (or any of the less familiar ones for that matter).

From what I can find, they're an extremely sensitive rheophilic sisorid that is not very easy to collect in any large quantities and is extremely difficult to keep alive during the shipping process, and in the home aquaria for the matter, due to their extreme activity and tendency to put on random bursts of speed, inevitably crashing into surfaces in the restriction of a tank without significant flow. The Nangra in the second image is in poor condition, and seems to be suffering from a number of ailments; I do not expect it to have lived long after the image was taken.
