According to police reports, several cases of financial misconduct and fraud have been reported against the Congress leader.
The situation emerged in Chapar, Dhubri district, following a complaint filed by the girl’s family, resulting in her rescue. The girl was saved from the Chapar region in Dhubri district.
The family alleged that Shamim Sarkar planned the kidnapping by feigning a romantic relationship with the young woman. After the report was filed, the police arrested Sarkar last evening in relation to the incident.
Additionally, Sarkar is also accused of financial misconduct, as it is claimed that he took large amounts of money from job seekers by offering them false employment prospects.
Meanwhile, Assam’s Information and Public Relations Minister Pijush Hazarika on X (formerly Twitter) slammed the party of “becoming a den of criminals” stating, First an Assam Congress leader was arrested for spreading fake news, now so called youth leader Shamim Mia has been apprehended for kidnapping a girl . Is this party becoming a den of criminals after winning 100% votes in areas where special community resides?”
