Digital Desk: A fraudulent Facebook account was created under the name "Upasana Gogoi FC", impersonating Upasana Bokoliyal Gogoi, the wife of late folk artist of Assam, Rajiv Sadiya.


Sonmoni Dutta alias Paban Dutta, the main mastermind behind the fake profile, has been arrested by the Tinsukia police. He was a resident of Uriamguri village, Naharkatia, Dibrugarh district.
