GUWAHATI: Call it sleight or conjurer tricks, this man owning a travel agency in Guwahati can do everything relating to cars in no time. He just hires cars and gives them to a third party on rent. After a month or two, he can change everything of hired cars – making fake insurance covers, fake documents, fake number plates, vanishing car loans online and whatnot – and sells them.

The man in question, according to the police, is Sanjib Singh. He has a travel agency – Mahabahu – on GS Road near the ABC Point. So far, he has sold 250 cars from Assam — mostly from Guwahati — in just four months, the police said. According to the police, in the past three days, he has over 60 cases filed against him in various police stations in the State.

He has his mastermind – Arun Yadav – sitting in Haryana. And he’s not alone here in Assam as well. He has a network that locates cars that can be hired and then sold. His team includes Lenin Phukan, Gautam Kathar, Bikash Bora and Homen Doley. While Bikash Bora was arrested by the police in Upper Assam on Friday, Bhangagarh police arrested Sanjib Singh from Jalpaiguri in West Bengal on Friday night.

Search is on for Arun Yadav and other members of the racket.
