Guwahati (Assam): Tightening its noose against those allegedly involved in the recent multi-crore stock trading financial scam, the Assam police have started summoning a section of youtubers for questioning to unearth the facts behind the scam.
The CID of the Assam police in Dibrugarh have summoned Chakrapani Parashar, Himashree Saikia and Aboyob Bhuyan, who had interviewed Sumi Borah, one of three main persons allegedly involved in the multi-crore online stock trading scam.
All of the three summoned persons have interviewed the suspects in their youtube channels. "...there are reasonable grounds to question you to ascertain some facts and circumstances in relation to the present investigation regarding the Dibrugarh PS case no 352/2024 banning of unregulated deposit scheme Act 2-19," the summons issued to Parashar read, according to sources.
The case is registered under section 316(2) 318 (4) BNS. It may be mentioned here that soon after the arrests were made, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had stated that the role of the youtubers who helped the suspects will also be investigated.
