Dibrugarh, Sept 13: Dibrugarh police have seized a vehicle without a number plate, which is suspected to have been used by Assamese actress and choreographer Sumi Borah and her husband Tarkik Borah, both accused in Rs 2,200 crore online trading fraud, while fleeing from Golaghat.
The vehicle has symbolic stickers used by an advocate, as well as stickers of National Geographic and one titled “Save Animal”.
Inside the vehicle, empty water bottles and chips packets were found. This white-colored vehicle was brought to Dibrugarh Sadar police station on Friday in connection with the recent online trading case.
Dibrugarh police produced both Sumi Borah and Tarkik Borah before the court on Thursday in connection with the Dibrugarh Police Station case no. 352/2024 relating to the online trading fraud, and were sent to 5 days of police custody.
The Special Task Force (STF) of the Assam police detained the couple while they were on their way to Dibrugarh on Thursday morning where they had planned to surrender before the police after being on the run for 10 days.
Earlier, a lookout notice was issued against the duo, the actor’s brother and her sister-in-law. The police had earlier made a breakthrough on September 11 by arresting Tarkik Borah’s brother Amlan Borah from Bihar.
The scam, in operation for almost three years, involved investment of money collected from clients in “shares” of companies with the promise of almost double the return in 60 days. The money was allegedly invested in some private unlisted companies.
On the other hand, Sudhakar Singh, SP, CID, arrived at Dibrugarh Sadar police station on Friday. The CID officer is reported to have arrived in Dibrugarh in connection with the online trading case no. 352/2024 against Bishal Phukan and others.
