CBI charges prime suspect in ₹260 crore trading scam in Assam

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a charge sheet against Ranjit Kakoty, the main suspect in a ₹260 crore trading scam that affected 1.5 lakh investors. The CBI completed its investigation within 90 days of Kakoty's arrest. Kakoty and his associates allegedly used an online platform to mislead investors with false promises of high returns. Complaints arose when he stopped responding after initial payouts, prompting a broader investigation into similar scams in Assam. The CBI has conducted extensive searches and filed charges against multiple individuals involved in various fraudulent schemes. Recently, the Gauhati High Court granted bail to five accused due to delays in filing charge sheets.
