Digital Desk: Hemen Sharma, the branch manager of Bandhan Bank's Nalbari branch, has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a multi-crore scam.
Sharma's name surfaced during an ongoing case into bank fraud registered at the Mushalpur police station, Baksa.
To avoid arrest, Hemen Sharma had sought bail from the Gauhati High Court, but his plea was rejected by the honourable court on Wednesday.
Ultimately, on Friday, the Baksa and Nalbari police, in a joint operation, arrested Sharma under case number 38/25 of Mushalpur police station.
It is noteworthy that under Hemen Sharma's leadership, black money was reportedly diverted by extracting from customers' CC accounts.
Following the emergence of this horrifying information, authorities began an investigation into the matter.
In the Athiabari region of Baksa district, Hemen Sharma embezzled crores by luring young men with false promises of bank loans.
He also cheated many individuals from Lower Assam by falsely promising them of providing loans amounting to crores.
Tragically, on May 14, 2025, a man named Dipankar Haloi (34), a resident of Athiabari, Baksa, took his life allegedly after enduring mental harassment from Hemen Sharma. Immediately after the incident, Hemen Sharma went into hiding.
However, after the police arrested and sent three accomplices of Hemen Sharma to jail following an investigation, he had been absconding for almost four months.
His recent arrest marks a significant step in addressing the multi-crore scam.
