GUWAHATI: At a time when investigation into the unregulated deposit schemes in the state is going on in full swing, the CID arrested the two masterminds of the YBY App scam last night. The two are Aniram Basumatary (38) and Mithinga Narzary (48), both hailing from Gohpur Milannagar in the Biswanath Chariali district.
