In a major financial fraud case, Indrajit Saha, a businessman from Bhadrakali in Hooghly district, filed a complaint with Baguiati Police Station on July 8, 2025, accusing Dhiraj Sarkar, alias Bumba, along with his associates — including Avijit Bhowmik and Neelamadhab — of cheating him of Rs1.47 crore. Saha claimed he was enticed by verbal promises of full repayment by March 2025. When he sought his money back, the accused allegedly resorted to threats and intimidation to evade repayment.
Police have registered the case—Baguiati P.S. Case No. 432/2025—under sections 316(2), 318(4), 351(2), and 3(5) BNS. Efforts to locate and question additional suspects involved in the scheme are currently underway.
