In a swift and commendable response, Dispur Police recovered a stolen Samsung Galaxy Tab and arrested the suspect within an hour of receiving the complaint.
The victim, Sharukh Ali, a resident of Mukundapur, Goreswar, had posted an advertisement to sell his tablet on OLX, a popular online marketplace. A prospective buyer soon contacted him, and they agreed to meet at Rukminigaon in Guwahati.
During the meeting, the buyer — now identified as Nilutpal Dutta, a resident of Jonaki Path, Rukmininagar — requested to show the device to his mother. Seizing the opportunity, he fled with the tablet, leaving the seller stunned.
Sharukh promptly reported the incident to Dispur Police Station, and a team launched an immediate investigation. Leveraging surveillance and quick coordination, officers tracked down Nilutpal Dutta and recovered the stolen Samsung Galaxy Tab in less than an hour.
Dispur Police confirmed that legal proceedings are underway, and they continue to crack down on online transaction-related scams to ensure public safety.
