Agartala, 20 June 2026 — NCC Police Station arrested 24-year-old (if age unknown we mustn’t invent-so avoid age) a young man named Pritam Das on the night of 19 June 2026 in connection with an alleged financial fraud involving job scams, police said. The arrest followed a complaint that accused the use of a fake Facebook account to solicit money from job seekers by promising employment in the name of a private firm.
According to the Officer-in-Charge of NCC Police Station, the complaint was filed by Tanushree Roy, Assistant Manager of Insciscsky Softtech Private Limited. The complaint alleges that a Facebook account created in the company’s name was used to collect fees from applicants under the false promise of jobs.
Police say they launched an investigation after receiving the complaint, identified the suspect and arrested Pritam Das from his residence in the Barnickya Choumuhani area on the night of Friday, 19 June 2026. Authorities have not released further details about how the suspect was traced or whether others are involved.
Das was produced before the court on Saturday, 20 June 2026, where police sought his remand to continue questioning and gather further evidence. The station’s Officer-in-Charge confirmed that the probe is ongoing and that additional legal steps will follow based on investigative findings.
The case highlights a broader pattern of online job-related frauds that target applicants through impersonation of legitimate companies on social media. Police have not yet disclosed whether any victims have been reimbursed or whether charges beyond fraud will be pursued as the investigation continues.
