Assam: Four separate FIRs filed against online trading scam accused in Dibrugarh

Dibrugarh: Four separate FIRs were lodged in Dibrugarh on Monday against Bishal Phukan, the alleged mastermind behind an online trading scam in Assam, accusing him of embezzling millions of rupees.

The victims, who have accused Phukan of embezzling millions of rupees, have lodged individual complaints against him.

In addition to Phukan, two mediators, Abhijit Chandra and Manbendra Singh, have also been implicated in the case. The police had initially registered a suo-motu case against Phukan's online trading business before arresting him.

So far, the police have seized property worth over ?5 crore in connection with the case.

The police remand period for Sumi Bora, Tarkik Bora, and Amlan Bora is set to expire on Tuesday, and they will be produced before the court.

According to police sources, no medical doctors have been summoned or interrogated by the police in connection with the case to date.

Sumi Borah, her husband Tarkik Borah, and brother Amlan Borah were taken to the Assam Medical College in the early hours of Monday after reportedly falling ill. They received medical attention late into the night and were subsequently brought back into police custody.

The trio had been under police custody when their health concerns arose. Following a thorough medical check-up and various tests, they were returned to police custody.

The police arrested actor-choreographer Sumi Borah and her photographer husband Tarkik Bora on Thursday for their alleged involvement in an online stock trading scam estimated to be worth at least Rs 2,200 crore.

The Special Task Force (STF) of the police detained the couple on their way to Dibrugarh where they had planned to surrender. They had been on the run for 10 days.
