Assam Police Arrests One in 3 Crore Fraud Case
Imagine some people were in charge of a coal mine.
They tricked their business partner, Dushmant, out of a lot of money.
First, they got Dushmant arrested in a fake case to keep him away from the business.
Then, they sold the coal from the mine and took about Rs 3 crore.
When Dushmant got out of jail, he found out what happened and reported it to the police.
The police in Assam then asked for help from the police in Bhubaneswar to catch the people who did this.
One person was caught, but the others got away.
