The accused have been identified as Nabajit Barman, President of Divyang Manch Assam, and Semim Ahmed, the organisation’s Secretary.
According to reports, Barman and Ahmed lured job seekers by falsely claiming to have influential connections capable of securing Grade III and Grade IV government posts in Assam. In return, they allegedly collected substantial sums of money from desperate candidates. However, when the promised jobs failed to materialise, the victims began demanding refunds.
The scam was exposed after an audio recording of one of the accused demanding money went viral on social media. This prompted several victims to file a formal complaint at Panbazar Police Station, leading to an official investigation.
The police are currently interrogating the accused to uncover the full extent of the scam and identify other possible individuals involved. Meanwhile, the accused were sent for legal proceedings on Monday.
Further details are awaited.
