Assam: Two Detained After Getting Rs. 73 Lakhs In Bank Account In Pathsala

BAJALI: Two individuals were detained by Bajali police in Assam on Thursday after one of them received Rs 73 lakhs in his bank account under suspicious circumstances. The accused, Maidul Islam and Manoj Das, are at the center of the investigation.

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. Maidul, in turn, collected the bank details of Manoj Das and shared them with ‘Lala Bhai’ through the app. Afterwards, a large sum of Rs 73 lakhs was deposited into Manoj's account.

Upon noticing the unusual transactions, 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 However, before the matter could be investigated, the money had already been withdrawn without Manoj’s knowledge.

Bajali police detained both Maidul and Manoj, seizing their mobile phones and bank account details for further investigation. The police are continuing their probe into the case and have warned the public not to trust such fraudulent job offers.

Recently, Sootea Police, along with the Cyber Cell/PTL, arrested Suren Robi Das from Amoni, Chamuguri, Nagaon for fraud. Das, originally from Kumolia, sold a demo OPPOOF25 Pro 5G phone to Tapan Biswas for Rs 16,000. When the victim discovered the fraud, he filed an FIR. The police seized Rs 7,000 from Das and continued their investigation.
