Assam Police confiscated over 93.08 lakh rupees in cash, gold items, and numerous banking documents during a targeted operation against suspected cyber fraud activities in the Boko-Chaygaon region.

Details of the Operation

The raid occurred on Sunday at a residence in 3 No. Tupamari village under the Tupamari Police Outpost following intelligence reports of illicit cybercrime operations. The primary suspect, Sanowar Hussain, was not present during the search, while his spouse, Saheda Ahmed, was taken into custody. The investigation was initiated after authorities received credible information about Hussain’s alleged involvement in cyber fraud. A joint team from the Tupamari Police Outpost and Nagarbera Police Station conducted the search under the supervision of a Boko-Chaygaon co-district officer.

Seized Items and Evidence

During the operation, police recovered ₹93,08,200 in cash, gold ornaments, a Bolero vehicle, and a Royal Enfield motorcycle. Additional items seized included multiple ATM cards from various banks, bank passbooks, and 70 Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana cards.

Investigation and Legal Measures

The large volume of cash and financial documents has prompted investigators to examine potential connections to cyber fraud transactions. Authorities are verifying the origins of the seized assets and analyzing transaction records linked to the recovered bank accounts and ATM cards. While no direct evidence linking the items to cybercrime has been confirmed, police suspect the accounts and cards may have been used to process illicit funds. The operation adhered to legal protocols, with independent witnesses present. Investigators are also assessing whether Hussain’s activities are part of a broader cyber fraud network. The role of the accused and potential associates is under scrutiny.

Public Advisory and Ongoing Efforts

Law enforcement has emphasized that strict legal measures will be enforced against individuals involved in cybercrime or those aiding such activities. Police have advised the public to refrain from allowing third parties to use their bank accounts, ATM cards, SIM cards, or financial records, as misuse could lead to legal consequences. Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious cyber fraud incidents promptly. Ongoing efforts aim to establish definitive links between the seized assets, banking materials, and alleged cybercrime activities.
