Assam Police announced a statewide crackdown that led to the arrest of 330 suspects involved in fraud, impersonation and extortion schemes. The operation, carried out over several days, targeted individuals who had allegedly defrauded victims through fake identities and extorted money from businesses and households.
The arrests spanned multiple districts, with police units coordinating closely to identify and detain key perpetrators. Authorities said the suspects were linked to a network that operated across the state, exploiting digital platforms and local contacts to carry out their illicit activities.
