Sonapur: Jitumoni Kalita, the self-styled director of a trading company, has been caught in the police net in connection with a major financial scam.
Operating under the name Unnati Trading in Khetri, the company allegedly defrauded the general public of several crores by collecting deposits under false pretenses. Tensions flared on Sunday when hundreds of aggrieved customers gathered at the Khetri police station premises after failing to get their deposited money back on time. Following the uproar, Khetri police swiftly registered a case and arrested Jitumoni Kalita, the accused fraudster, for further investigation.
The accused had collected large sums of money from hardworking people in Dimoria and surrounding areas, under the guise of savings schemes, and then embezzled the funds. Jitumoni Kalita is now in police custody as the investigation into the scam begins.
