A significant case of suspicious financial transactions has emerged in Tezpur, Sonitpur district, with connections suspected to Dubai. The local police have detained four members of the same family, including a woman, in relation to this matter.
According to police sources, a probe was initiated after authorities received credible information regarding a substantial influx of funds from Dubai into the bank accounts of several residents of Tezpur. As part of this investigation, a special operation was conducted on Thursday night in the Borjhargaon area of Tezpur.
The individuals arrested include Jitika Kalita, Jitu Kalita, Chimu Das, and Abhijit Das. During the raid at their residences, the police seized significant items, including 44 ATM cards, 17 bank passbooks, a checkbook, and a passport.
Authorities stated that the investigation was accelerated after receiving confidential information about foreign transactions associated with the accounts of these individuals. Additional Superintendent of Police Ankurjyoti Bora commented on the situation before the media.
“Our SSP received reliable information indicating that certain residents of Tezpur had substantial foreign fund transactions linked to their bank accounts. Based on this intelligence, we visited the residence of the main suspect, where we seized multiple ATM cards, a checkbook, passbooks, and a passport. The suspect has admitted to traveling to and working in Dubai. Our investigation is ongoing, and we will provide further updates once we have more details,” Bora said.
According to police suspicions, Jitika Kalita has made several trips to Dubai. However, the authorities have not yet disclosed the amount of money involved in the transactions or their exact source.
The Additional Superintendent of Police of Sonitpur has speculated that there may be significant secrets hidden behind these foreign-linked transactions. The Tezpur police continue to inquire into the source and purpose of the funds, as well as whether there are other parties involved in potential fraud.
