A businessman from North Lakhimpur, Assam, identified as Rahman Ali, has been arrested by the Sangram Police in Arunachal Pradesh’s Kurung Kumey district for allegedly defrauding local residents of several lakhs of rupees through fraudulent investment schemes.
Ali, who operated a business in Sangram for nearly nine years, first borrowed Rs 2.6 lakh from local resident Tai Taba on June 25, 2023, under a formal agreement. He later persuaded Taba and other residents to invest additional sums, accumulating close to Rs 35 lakh, while promising substantial returns on their investments.
However, on February 24, 2025, Ali abruptly fled Sangram with his family and relatives, leaving behind the outstanding borrowed funds. This led to the filing of a criminal case under Sangram Police Station Case No. 03/25, invoking Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code pertaining to cheating and dishonesty.
Following an extensive investigation and coordinated efforts by law enforcement, the Sangram Police successfully located and arrested Ali on May 8, 2025, in Mayong, Morigaon district, Assam. The operation was spearheaded by ASI Shanti Paleng, along with HC(SG) Tenjing Norbu and Constable Yomli Ninu.
Currently, Rahman Ali is in police custody. Investigations are ongoing to recover the defrauded money and to uncover any additional victims or accomplices associated with the scam.
