Digital Desk: A massive literary fraud has come to light in Assam, where for the past six years a person used the fake identity of "Dr. Paridhi Sarmah" while claiming to be a professor at Delhi University to publish fabricated articles in various newspapers. The truth of this literary scam was exposed by Palash Ranjan Baruah, who filed a complaint with the CID after growing suspicious.
Interestingly, the same person also used three different pseudonyms, “Dr. Ranjita Samanatera” and “Dr. Parismita Bharadwaj” and went on to publish multiple articles. Shockingly, during the investigation, it was revealed that "Dr. Paridhi Sharma" never really existed. The actual person behind this fiasco is identified as Dhrubajyoti Saikia, who resides in Bharolua village under the Gaurisagar police station area in Sivasagar district.
The photograph used in the newspaper, in the name of "Dr. Paridhi Sarmah," was actually, Rohini Sindhuri, who works as an IAS officer in Karnataka. The fraudster used two different phone numbers and pretended to be a woman in order to deceive editors and writers.
