There have been frequent cases as reported by Sonitpur Police where few wanted gangs are making efforts to sell fake gold by making random calls to several victims.
Though it should have been a common practice for people to buy gold from authorised places with proper marks, even many educated people have fallen prey to those offenders.
On 09th July, acting on a source information, Sonitpur police has caught two persons red handed viz.
** Tamiruddin Hussain (aged 20), S/O Nur Islam, Gutlong, Tezpur
** Bittu Sheikh (aged 18), S/O Jiear Sheikh, Polo field, Tezpur with two pieces of fake gold.
Sonitpur Police has requested citizens to avoid such calls and report them immediately. People should buy gold from licenced dealers or shops authorised to sell and no other places.
