Assam became a hub for online trading scam...
Digital Desk: The Assam Police finally succeeded in apprehending Sumi Bora and Tarkik Bora on September 12, who were allegedly involved in the massive online trading scam that took place in Assam.
Assam became a hub for online trading. The wave of online trading has jolted the entire state in such a way that many celebrities, and high-level officials are under the suspicion of Assam Police. In recent days, much new information about the scam has come to light that has shaken the entire state.
The story of fraudulence and online trading has come on highlight after the Dibrugarh Police arrested a youth named Bishal Phukan for his involvement in the massive trading scam of money around Rs 2,200 Crore. The arrest took place on September 3. Right after the arrest, the involvement of Assam actress and choreographer Sumi Bora, and her husband Tarkik Bora came into the limelight.
The Assam Police were continuing their search for Sumi Bora who was reportedly involved with Phukan. The report said Sumi Bora introduced many people to Bishal Phukan and encouraged them to invest money in online trading.
The Dibrugarh Police seized a total of four four-wheeler vehicles in connection with the case of Bishal Phukan. The luxury cars include the Toyota Fortuner, the KIA Seltos, and the MG Astor.
According to a report, Bishal Phukan, with his associates lured investors by promising 30% in return within 60 days. The fraudsters gained the trust of the investors by returning the money. However, when the guests invest a large amount of money, they do not receive money. In connection with the scam, another youth Sapnanil Das was arrested. A victim lodged an FIR against Sapnanil Das, who enticed the victim to invest money around Rs 17 lakh. Persons around 60 have been arrested in connection with the online trading scam. Another fraudster Dipankar Barman fled under the nose of the Assam Police.
Meanwhile, Sumi Bora and Tarkik Bora escaped from the Assam Police. Soon after much information came to light relating to Sumi Bora. According to reports, allegations have been made against Bishal Phukan of awarding Sumi with a lucrative commission for dealing with clients to invest money.
After her detention, Sumi Bora revealed she was not involved with any trading scam. She has a personal relationship with Bishal Phukan and treats him like a brother. Apart from this, she had no connection with his trading. According to Sumi, her case came to the limelight only because of TRP. Dipankar Barman fled from Assam but his case didn't come to limelight because of lack of TRP. Speaking to the media, Sumi Bora said, "They alleged I own property worth several crore rupees. I bet if they find one single proof of it."
The efficiency of the Assam Police is in question after the entire matter came to light. Sometimes they claimed to have tracked locations in Meghalaya and sometimes they claimed to have entered Nepal with the help of brokers but the police could not arrest the two accused. Another question raised is whether the arrest of the two accused has been delayed or the police administration has failed to arrest them! After the detention of Sumi Bora and Tarkik Bora, many explosive facts have come to light. Sumi Bora admitted they were hiding somewhere between Jorhat and Dibrugarh. It is still a mystery how the Assam Police found the trace of Sumi Bora outside Assam while both of them were taking shelter near their hometowns.
Around 60 accused persons have been arrested so far. The list of suspicion in connection with the scam includes many high-level officers, said the Assam Police. The list was enlarged only with many common people, no names of high officials have been disclosed yet.
