Police uncovered a huge scam in Assam last week involving online trading totalling Rs 2,200 crore. The two prime accused -- Bishal Phukan of Dibrugarh and Swapnanil Das of Guwahati were arrested by the police from their residences.

Addressing an election rally in Lakhimpur, he said the BJP-led government at the Centre secured the country's border with Bangladesh and stopped infiltration.
The chief minister said those opposing the CAA should place their views before the Supreme Court as it is the only authority that can scrap the law now.
On January 23, Congress workers in the presence of Gandhi and other leaders broke police barricades, which were put up after the CM threatened to file an FIR if the yatra attempted to enter the main Guwahati city.
Assam and Mizoram share a 164.6 km-long border. Both CMs also discussed a wide range of developmental issues during the one-to-one meeting in Guwahati.
Launching the development projects, Prime Minister Modi said they will boost the connectivity in the region while also increasing avenues of employment for locals and encouraging them to take up sports.
The filing of the FIR follows the statement by the Assam Chief Minister on Tuesday, indicating that the state police would initiate legal action against Rahul Gandhi and proceed with his arrest post the Lok Sabha election.
