Guwahati police have detained Ashraful Haque, the whistleblower who exposed the massive TFAL Trading Scam, following serious allegations of misconduct and extortion filed against him by a woman. Haque, who played a crucial role in uncovering the fraudulent activities of Sapnanil Das and his trading platform, Trading For A Living (TFAL), was arrested after Hatigaon Police took him in for questioning.
The accusations came from a woman living at Kripa Estate in Hatigaon, who is the wife of Ashiq Uddin Ahmed. The complainant alleged that Haque not only misbehaved with her but also attacked both her and her child on several occasions. Based on her FIR, Haque was subsequently arrested.
While the investigation into Haque’s alleged misconduct unfolds, authorities are continuing their crackdown on the multi-crore TFAL Trading Scam. The scheme, which promised substantial stock market profits, is said to have been connected to financial operations in Singapore, Malaysia, and Dubai.
It’s important to note that Sapnanil Das, the founder of TFAL, was arrested in Guwahati on September 2 last year for running fraudulent online trading schemes. Authorities allege that TFAL was a front for financial deception, with Das posing as a financial educator while orchestrating large-scale fraud.
Haque’s detention has raised concerns, and questions remain about whether this is part of routine legal procedures or if it signals larger implications. The investigation into the allegations against Haque is still underway.
