Guwahati, 19th December: Seven individuals in Assam’s Bongaigaon have been booked over charges for impersonating Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials and conducting unauthorized raids on truckers along National Highway 27, which connects Chaprakata under Bongaigaon Sadar police station.
Their alleged attempt to extort money from a truck driver from Rajasthan resulted in legal action.
According to the victim’s account, just before their arrest, a passenger vehicle displaying “Police” on the windshield and registered as AS-01-EJ-6934 seized the keys and documents of a 14-wheeler with registration number RJ 02-GC-2834 on NH 27. This incident prompted the Bongaigaon police to intervene swiftly.
