A chargesheet was filed against three accused—Hemen Rava, Sankar Saha, and Upepithets Holdings Pvt. Ltd. (UHPL)—in a case re-registered by CBI Guwahati in October. The accused allegedly orchestrated a fraudulent deposit scheme, luring investors with promises of high monthly returns (6% and above) through notarised agreements. The case was originally registered at Tezpur Police Station.
The second chargesheet named five accused, including Jiten Deka and Indrani Das, linked to the "Grihalakshmi" deposit scheme. The Brahmaputra Sanchay & Biniyog Cooperative Society Ltd. (BSBCSL) scheme promised annual returns of up to 15% and offered agent commissions of 4–7%. This case was originally registered at Azara Police Station.
The third chargesheet involves four individuals—Mainao Brahma, Dipankar Bhatta, Jyotisman Sarma, and Sumit Barman—for running an unregulated deposit scheme. The accused allegedly diverted investor funds for personal use, including purchasing properties and vehicles. The case was initially lodged at Mushalpur Police Station, Baksa.
The fourth chargesheet is against two individuals, Rishiraj Gogoi and Joy Modak, for defrauding investors through a company named Go Millions LLP. Claiming to trade in cosmetics and other products, the duo collected deposits through UPI and bank accounts while promising high returns, in violation of RBI and SEBI norms. This case was originally registered at Geetanagar Police Station.
The fifth chargesheet involves four individuals—Sankar Kumar Biswas, Rofiqul Islam, Dinesh Chandra Ray, and Niranjan Kumar Malakar. The accused ran an unregulated deposit scheme under the name Titan Capital Market, collecting funds via UPI, cash, and cheques. This case was initially lodged at Dhubri Police Station.
These latest chargesheets are in addition to four filed earlier by CBI Delhi in connection with the same scam.
