Guwahati, Nov 21: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continued its probe into a multi-crore online stock trading scam, conducting a significant raid at the residence of Tanay Deb, an accused named in the FIR, in Silchar.
The operation carried out on Wednesday, recovered various incriminating documents and electronic devices, further bolstering the agency’s ongoing investigation.
This scam revolves around allegations against DB Stock Consultancy, a company accused of defrauding numerous investors in six states through irregular deposit schemes. The consultancy is owned by Deepankar Barman and Monalisa Das, along with 7-8 employees. The case originated from an FIR (No. 288/2024) registered at Paltan Bazar Police Station on August 21. Subsequently, the CBI filed a chargesheet against Monalisa Das on November 18, while keeping the investigation open.
Additionally, on November 19, the Special Judge for CBI Cases in Guwahati rejected the bail application of another accused, Sumi Bora, in connection with CBI case No. RC 221/2024/E0017.
The investigation underscores the CBI’s efforts to unravel the complex network of financial fraud involved and hold the perpetrators accountable. Further developments are anticipated as the probe progresses.
