Assam Police Arrest Six in Financial Fraud Case with Suspected Pakistan LinksPreviousNext

Assam Police's Special Task Force arrested six individuals, including a woman, for operating an organised financial fraud racket using mule bank accounts. The investigation began after suspicious transactions in a State Bank of India account belonging to Marjina Begum, involving credits and immediate withdrawals over 47 days. Authorities suspect links to Pakistan Intelligence Operatives. Arrests occurred between October 28 and 30 in Guwahati, with electronic devices and documents seized. The case follows intelligence inputs from central agencies and a complaint by Sonitpur Police.
