According to reports, the Samaguri police in Assam’s Nagaon district rejected a complaint lodged by a minor alleging a ‘love‑trap’ scheme.
Samaguri police in the Nagaon district of Assam have reportedly turned down a grievance filed by a minor who claimed to be a victim of a so‑called ‘love‑trap’ scheme. The complaint, which was said to involve attempts to lure the youngster into a deceptive relationship, was allegedly not registered by the authorities.
Sources close to the case say the police dismissed the complaint without formal acknowledgment, prompting the minor’s family to raise concerns over procedural lapses. No official statement from the Samaguri police station has been released to confirm or refute the allegations.
The family of the minor has expressed disappointment, alleging that the police’s inaction could embolden similar exploitative practices. Local community members have also voiced unease, calling for a transparent inquiry into the handling of the case.
Legal experts note that complaints by minors are required to be recorded under child protection statutes, and any deviation may attract scrutiny from higher law‑enforcement agencies. The incident underscores the need for sensitised policing when dealing with vulnerable victims in Assam.
