Fraudster accused of embezzling crores of rupees finally arrested

DHUBRI: After evading arrest for a long time, Tulsi Saha, a fraudster who had duped many people in the Dhubri district, was finally arrested on Thursday.

On the basis of an FIR lodged by Samar Chakraborty, a resident of Ramraikuti village of the Dhubri district against Tulsi Saha, who also hails from the same village, at the Agomani police station on January 6, 2023, police started an investigation into the embezzlment of crores of rupees. A total of 108 individuals joined Chakraborty in lodging the complaint against Saha.

Following the FIR, a case was registered at the Agomani police station under Case No. 05/23 under sections 120(B), 406, and 420 of the Indian Penal Code. Tulsi Saha was allegedly involved in the operations of the Popular Trading Co. Society, where he held the position of secretary and proprietor. The society served as a repository for the earnings of all 109 complainants, with the aim of benefiting people.

However, unable to provide any benefits to the people, Saha absconded from Ramraikuti village on August 6, 2022, carrying with him a staggering sum of nearly Rs 2 crore-Rs 3 crore, as stated in the FIR. After a year-long pursuit, Agomani police succeeded in arresting Tulsi Saha in the Satrasal area during the early hours of October 19.

Saha was later brought to Dhubri Sadar Police Station for interrogation and produced before the Dhubri Court on the same day. Police sought a seven-day remand for him to complete their investigation in the case.
