Assamese actor Sumi Borah, her husband Tarkik Borah, and brother Amlan Borah were admitted to Assam Medical College at around 1:20 pm after reportedly falling ill while in police custody. They received medical treatment late into the night. Following comprehensive medical check-ups and various tests, they were returned to police custody by midnight.
Sumi and Tarkik Borah have been under police supervision for the fourth consecutive day as part of an investigation into an alleged online trading fraud. The Assam police arrested the couple in connection with a multi-crore trading scam originating from Jorhat. The investigation revealed significant financial losses due to fraudulent trading activities.
The police have not provided further details on the exact amount of money involved but assured the public that an in-depth investigation is ongoing. Authorities aim to uncover the full extent of the fraud and identify any additional individuals involved.
This incident underscores the ongoing tensions in Assam, further highlighted by unrest in Gossaigaon following the death of a youth in police custody.
