Assam: Another woman arrested for alleged Rs 100 crore fraudulent trading scheme
Guwahati: The police have arrested another woman from the LGBI Airport in Guwahati, Assam for allegedly running a fraudulent trading scheme.
The woman identified as Mainao Brahma, a resident of Assam's Baksa district, was apprehended as she reached Guwahati from New Delhi.
She had been in hiding in New Delhi since the scam surfaced, reports claimed.
According to reports, she is accused of deceiving numerous investors, mostly people from rural areas by promising regular returns on their investments.
The victims claimed they deposited large sums of money with Brahma, who allegedly assured them that the funds would be used for trading. However, when the investors demanded their money back, Brahma cited business losses and refused to return the funds before disappearing.
The scam came to light after several victims lodged complaints with the Mushalpur police, accusing Brahma and her husband, Samin Swargiary, of accumulating significant wealth through the "fraudulent scheme".
