At Tezpur Police Station, four individuals were arrested in connection with a case involving Fino Payment Bank.

In a separate incident, Tezpur Sadar Thana apprehended Hemen Rabha from Bandarmari, Tezpur, who is alleged to be the mastermind behind a fraudulent scheme known as SMC or Ginny Capital. This operation, which promised quick riches, reportedly amassed approximately three crore rupees within six months. The scheme involved recruiting and training agents in Murhateteli, Tezpur, offering them substantial commissions for securing large investments. To gain the trust of investors, the fraudsters issued blank checks to their customers.
Police sources indicate that efforts are ongoing to apprehend other individuals involved in these fraudulent activities.
Victims of these financial scams have approached the Tezpur Sadar Thana, demanding justice and appropriate punishment for the culprits. These cases underscore the growing concern over financial fraud in the region and serve as a stark reminder for the public to remain vigilant against get-rich-quick schemes.
