A police officer, working at the DGP office, has been arrested for his alleged involvement in the online trading scam, as per sources. Suruj Deka is the police officer that was arrested. Anjan Supriyam, the main suspect in the case, admitted to taking part in the online trading scam, which led to Deka’s arrest. Deka is now being questioned by CID officials. To learn more about the scheme and Deka’s role in it, more inquiries are underway.
Assam Police previously uncovered a financial scam worth Rs 2,200 crore in which brokers deceived investors by guaranteeing a double return on their money put in the online stock market. Two guys were taken into custody in relation to the scam: Guwahati resident Swapnil Das and Dibrugarh resident and online dealer Vishal Phukan, 22. As the investigation continues into further areas of the state, several more arrests are anticipated.
Phukan had promised a 30% return on investments within 60 days. Phukan would display his flashy lifestyle to entice investors. He proceeded to create four fictitious businesses, made investments in the Assamese film industry, and acquired multiple properties. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, in the meantime, warned people against making false investments in the internet stock market, saying that each time money is promised to double with little to no effort, it is a scam.
He cautioned individuals to avoid scammers and warned that there is no real financial investment made in the share market through these internet trading organizations. The authorities are attempting to take down the state’s entire scam network and have already filed proceedings against illicit brokers. The decision by the chief minister comes after rumors circulated that some internet trading firms doing business in the state were not abiding by SEBI or RBI standards.
