GUWAHATI: Guwahati police have arrested a notorious fraudster, Dipjyoti Bora, from Geetanagar in the city. Bora, a resident of Lahowal in Dibrugarh, had been orchestrating a complex web of deceit, targeting multiple women under the guise of romantic relationships. His modus operandi involved swindling his victims out of lakhs of rupees over an extended period.
Acting on intelligence reports, Bhangagarh police apprehended Bora and seized four mobile phones from his possession.
DCP East said, “A case has been registered against Deepjyoti Bora from Lahoal at Bhangagarh Police Station (case number 134/2024). According to the complaint filed by a woman, Bora allegedly first built relationships and used dating apps like Tinder to propose to financially stable women. He then gives proposals for marriage, and his primary targets were divorced women, whom he lured into financial gains with false promises of love and companionship. Once he gained their trust, he would take money from them and then abscond.”
“During the investigation, we discovered that Bora had deceived multiple women, amassing around Rs 50 lakh, including Rs 16 lakh from a victim who filed the complaint at Bhangagarh Police Station. He was also accused of falsely claiming to work at ONGC; he had conned around 10 to 12 women using similar tactics.
