Guwahati: In a significant development, Badarpur Police have apprehended Rajdeep Deb, a prime accused in the online trading scam, from Tripura. Deb, a resident of BSF Camp Road in Sribhumi, was arrested from a house in Dharmanagar with the assistance of Churaibari Police.
According to police sources, Deb had been evading arrest since the capture of another key accused, Shakir, from Kolkata’s Bakhrashal area. Despite weeks of dodging law enforcement, Deb was finally tracked down following a tip-off received by Sribhumi Police.
Deb had allegedly been living a lavish lifestyle using funds obtained from defrauding individuals through online trading schemes. He had reportedly promised high returns to investors but vanished after collecting significant sums. “Since Shakir’s arrest, Deb had been on the run, frequently changing locations to avoid being caught. However, our successful joint operation with Churaibari Police led to his arrest in Dharmanagar,” said an official from Badarpur Police Station.
Deb has been brought to Badarpur Police Station for further interrogation. Authorities believe that his arrest could provide crucial leads into the broader network behind the scam. Victims of the fraudulent scheme are hopeful that more arrests will follow and that legal action will be taken against those responsible for duping investors. The investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement agencies are working to recover the scammed funds and bring all involved perpetrators to justice.
