GUWAHATI: The Guwahati Police have initiated another crackdown on the menace of online trading scams. A fraudster who duped investors of at least Rs. 50 crore has been arrested in connection with the case. As per reports, the accused, identified as Chinomy Das, had raised money from investors allegedly with the help of his parents and girlfriend.
Further investigation into the case is underway.Meanwhile, it may be noted that, in connection to the online trading case in Assam, the Gauhati High Court has granted bail to Sumi Bora, an accused in an online trading scam investigated by the CBI. While the court's decision allows her release in the CBI case, Bora remains in jail as she has yet to secure bail in two other cases filed by the Assam Police.
These cases have been registered at the Duliajan and Borborua police stations. Sumi Bora is currently imprisoned at the Guwahati Central Jail. Her bail in the CBI case does not impact the charges in the ongoing police investigations.
Actor and influencer Sumi Borah and her photographer husband, Tarkik Borah, wanted in connection with the multi-crore online trading investment scam in Assam, were arrested on September 12, 2024, after they surrendered to the police.
