In a major breakthrough against rising cyber and financial crimes, Dhubri Police arrested three individuals for their alleged involvement in an online gaming scam that duped multiple victims using a fraudulent Android application.
The accused have been identified as Shahinur Ali of Kaiyahagi Bazar, Ahinur Rahman of Mahrirchar, and Zobbar Ali of Manirchar, all residents of the South Salmara region. Police said the trio operated an online racket through an application named ‘RSN Marketing’, luring users with promises of high returns through gaming and investment schemes.
During the operation, police seized a handwritten register containing records of daily earnings and transactions, indicating a well-organised and systematic financial operation. Authorities suspect the scam may be linked to a larger digital fraud network spread across multiple districts.
A senior police officer noted that cyber scams disguised as gaming or investment platforms are on the rise in lower Assam, particularly in Dhubri and surrounding areas. “Fraudsters exploit the popularity of online gaming to trick people into transferring money. The public should avoid downloading or investing through unverified applications,” the officer said.
Dhubri Police have launched a detailed investigation to trace the digital money trail and identify other accomplices or financial links connected to the racket.
