A group of individuals, including Nitul Das, were presented before the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s office in Guwahati today after their arrest. Nitul Das was apprehended on November 23 as a result of a raid conducted by the Crime Branch at his residence.
The operation reportedly yielded many incriminating documents, approximately Rs 2.5 lakh in cash, and various land-related documents. In addition to these, multiple counterfeit seals, a TI book, and a volume registration book were also discovered.
The raid was initiated following a complaint lodged with the cyber cell, which led to the exposure of his fraudulent activities. Das is allegedly involved in a large-scale racket that carried out these deceitful activities, duping several individuals and accumulating money through online mediums.
