Guwahati– Employees and investors associated with DB Stock Broking have been summoned for questioning at the Paltan Bazar police station this Friday as authorities intensify their investigation into the alleged Rs 7,000 crore financial scam orchestrated by Dipankar Barman, the firm’s chief.
This is the second time DB Stock Broking employees are being questioned, having previously appeared at the Paltan Bazar station, where they were allowed to leave after preliminary inquiries.
Investigators are keen to delve deeper into Barman’s trading methods, particularly his alleged misuse of public funds for high-risk trades.
The case, registered as case number 374/24, not only targets Barman but also implicates his employees, who may hold crucial information about the firm’s trading practices and Barman’s handling of investments.
Meanwhile, investors who entrusted their funds to DB Stock Broking are required to attend today’s inquiry at the Paltan Bazar station as well.
Currently, Barman remains in custody at the Panbazar police station, where police are expected to focus on his transaction methods and the specifics of the financial investments involved.
Barman’s arrest followed months on the run, culminating in a high-security handover after his detention in Goa on October 27. Escorted by a tight police presence, he arrived at Guwahati’s LGBI Airport earlier this week and was immediately taken to Panbazar station for detailed questioning.
