The Dibrugarh police have issued a "most wanted" notice for Assamese choreographer Sumi Borah, her husband Tarkik Borah, and two others, believed to be her brother and sister-in-law, in connection with a massive stock market investment scam.
The notice follows an ongoing investigation into a Rs 2,200 crore online trading fraud. Dibrugarh Superintendent of Police (SP) Rakesh Reddy reported that, despite repeated notices, the individuals have failed to appear before authorities.
“We have arrested two persons in connection with the case and seized 18 bank accounts belonging to Bishal Phukan, the alleged mastermind of the scam. We are currently verifying the evidence,” Reddy said.
It has emerged that Sumi Borah received Rs 20 crore from Phukan in her bank account.
The police accuse Borah of luring investors into Phukan’s company with false promises of high returns from online trading.
The police are now conducting a manhunt for the quartet, who have been officially labelled as "most wanted" fugitives.
