Assam woman summoned by Delhi Crime Branch over online fraud, asked to appear on May 27

In a significant development, Tarzina Begum, a resident of Dhulabari near Rangia, has been summoned by the Delhi Crime Branch to appear in the capital on May 27. This summons is part of an ongoing investigation into a perplexing financial scheme involving several individuals from Dhulabari, situated in the Tamulpur district.

The scheme revolves around the opening of accounts at Canara Bank in Rangia by a group of women from Dhulabari. Allegedly, a young man named Azharuddin Ali facilitated the account openings, providing crucial information to an individual in Delhi. For each account opened, an undisclosed person from Delhi reportedly sent funds to Azharuddin Ali online. Additionally, Azharuddin Ali purportedly received an equal amount of money for each account he facilitated.

The women who opened the accounts were reportedly unaware of the inflow of funds into their accounts. The situation took a drastic turn when the Delhi Crime Branch issued summonses on May 10, throwing the entire community into disarray.

It has been alleged that transactions amounting to several crores of rupees were conducted in these accounts without the account owners' knowledge. This has sparked outrage among the women, who had been assured by Azharuddin Ali that they would receive money. The genesis of this elaborate scheme traces back to Azharuddin Ali's interaction with a Delhi-based individual he met while applying for work online via the Work India app.
