GUWAHATI: The Gauripur police recently apprehended three people. The public said these people were charging them too much interest. The police looked for them in many places in Dhubri district. They arrested them on a Sunday night.
The people arrested were Mohammad Ali from Gauripur Malatikhamar village, Shafiqul Islam from Ashtamirchar in Alamganj Part-Vl, and Motiar Rahman from Alomganj Part-lX village. They are suspected of charging too much interest for a long time. The Assam government doesn't like this, which they've said recently. They want to help those hurt by this.
