Assam: Bajali Police detains two after suspicious bank transaction

A CORRESPONDENT

PATHSALA: Bajali Police detained two individuals after one of them received Rs 73 lakhs in his bank account under suspicious circumstances.  As per report, the accused have been identified as Maidul Islam of Barpeta and Manoj Das of Pathsala.

The incident began when Maidul received a message on Telegram from someone named Lala Bhai, who offered him a work-from-home job and requested his bank account details. Meanwhile Maidul collected the bank details of Manoj Das and shared them with Lala Bhai through the Telegram app. Later, a large sum of Rs 73 lakh was deposited into Manoj's account.

Upon noticing the unusual transaction, Canara Bank flagged the account and found that Manoj could not provide a valid explanation for the deposit. The bank then filed an FIR with the Pathsala police. However, before the matter could be investigated, the amount had already been withdrawn without Manoj's knowledge.

Bajali police detained both Maidul and Manoj, and seized their mobile phones and bank account details for further investigation. The police warned the public not to trust such fraudulent job offers.
