SEIJOSA, Mar 19: In a significant breakthrough, the Seijosa Police have arrested two individuals accused of orchestrating a large-scale fraud related to the postal department. The accused, identified as  Gona Kanta Hazarika and  Umesh Hazarika, were taken into custody following a meticulous investigation.
The operation was carried out by a police team led by SI Sang Thinley (OC, PS Seijosa), SI Duyu Talley, and Constable M. Ete, under the supervision of DySP Sashi Dore (SDPO, Seijosa). The case was registered under Sections 316(4), 318(4), 115(2), and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) on 14 August 2024. The overall investigation was conducted under the leadership of SP Pakke Kessang, Tasi Darang.
According to police, the accused were involved in a fraudulent scheme that deceived numerous individuals by making false promises of high returns on investments in the National Savings Scheme. The victims, many of whom were unsuspecting investors, lost significant amounts of money due to the scam.
After weeks of technical surveillance and human intelligence gathering, the Seijosa and Sootea police teams coordinated efforts to arrest Umesh Hazarika early this morning. This arrest marks a crucial step in closing Seijosa Police Station Case No. 06/24, which has been pending since August 2024.
Authorities have urged the public to remain cautious and report any suspicious financial schemes to law enforcement agencies. The investigation is ongoing, and further legal action will be taken against those involved in the scam.
