Guwahati: City Police Arrested Two Divyang Body Members in Job Scam

STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: In a major crackdown on job fraud, the Guwahati Police have arrested two members of Divyang Manch Assam for allegedly running a job scam, duping aspirants by promising government positions in exchange for money.

The accused, identified as Nabajit Barman, president of Divyang Manch Assam, and Semim Ahmed, the organization’s secretary, were apprehended late Sunday night from Boragoan following multiple complaints from victims.

According to police sources, Barman and Ahmed lured job seekers by falsely claiming to have influential connections capable of securing Grade III and Grade IV government posts in Assam. In return, they allegedly took substantial sums of money from desperate candidates. However, when the promised jobs never materialized, the victims started demanding refunds.

The scam came to light after an audio recording of one of the accused demanding money surfaced on social media, prompting several victims to file a formal complaint at Panbazar Police Station. Based on these complaints, police launched an investigation, leading to the duo’s arrest.

Authorities are currently interrogating the accused to determine the full extent of the scam and identify any additional individuals involved. Meanwhile, both Barman and Ahmed were presented before the court on Monday for legal proceedings.
