Assam Police Arrest Sumi and Tarkik Borah in Multi-Crore Trading Scam Investigation
Desk Report, September 12, 2024: Assam Police have arrested Sumi Borah and her husband Tarkik Borah in connection with a multi-crore trading scam that has shocked the state. The arrests follow an extensive investigation into fraudulent trading activities, leading to significant financial losses for numerous investors.
Authorities have yet to reveal the total amount of money involved in the scam. However, the police assure the public that a comprehensive investigation is ongoing to expose the full extent of the fraud. They are also working to identify others potentially involved in the scheme.
Currently, both Sumi and Tarkik Borah remain in police custody. They are expected to appear in court in Dibrugarh soon. The arrest follows Sumi Borah’s public announcement on September 11, in which she expressed her intention to surrender to the authorities.
For weeks, the Borah couple had been evading law enforcement after being accused of orchestrating the scam that rattled investors and severely affected regional trading markets. This prompted a larger investigation by Assam’s Special Task Force (STF).
Taking to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Assam’s Director General of Police (DGP) G P Singh confirmed the arrests. He wrote, “The game is up for them. Compliments to the Team STF. তেওঁলোকৰ বাবে খেল শেষ। অভিনন্দন Team STF.”
The police are expected to provide more details as the investigation progresses, raising hopes that the scam’s masterminds will soon be brought to justice.
The game is up for them. Compliments to the Team STF.
