Six arrested in Assam over alleged fraud network linked to Pakistan operatives: Police
In an official statement, Assam police said the STF took up the investigation following intelligence inputs from Gajraj Military Intelligence (MI), Tezpur
Bhiwandi police have arrested a 32-year-old man, Kalpesh Tarmale (Patil), for allegedly defrauding an individual of ₹1.02 crore in exchange for securing a liquor shop licence. According to the Bhiwandi Crime Branch Unit 2, Tarmale allegedly gained the victim's trust by promising to arrange the licence and collected the money in instalments through cash payments and RTGS transactions.
However, Tarmale neither secured the licence nor returned the money. Police seized ₹5 lakh in cash from his possession during the arrest. The investigation is ongoing to determine if more individuals were similarly duped. The Thane Police Commissionerate has appealed for anyone who paid money to Tarmale under similar circumstances to come forward and provide information.
Citizens are advised to be cautious of individuals promising government licences or permissions through unofficial channels and to verify the legitimacy of such offers before making any payments.
