Guwahati police have apprehended a notorious fraudster, Dipjyoti Bora, from Geetanagar in the city. Bora, a resident of Lahowal in Dibrugarh, had been deceiving multiple women under the pretense of romantic relationships, swindling them out of lakhs of rupees over an extended period.
Acting on intelligence, Bhangagarh police arrested Bora and seized four mobile phones from his possession. Investigations have revealed that he operated under multiple aliases, including Bitu Sen, to execute his fraudulent schemes. His primary targets were divorced women, whom he lured into financial scams.
One such victim reportedly lost Rs 22 lakh to Bora’s deceit. Authorities suspect that he had conned around 10 to 12 women using similar tactics. Additionally, police have seized an Alcazar vehicle bearing the registration number AS01FK 3237 from his possession.
His tactics were as bold as his con game. Dipjyoti would first meet women through dating apps, slowly building trust by promising them a future together. His big claim to fame? Pretending to be an employee at Oil India. This ruse allowed him to maintain a fake, lucrative persona. His victims were often working women, particularly from private banks, who fell prey to his promises of marriage and financial security.
Bora didn’t stop there — at least one of his victims had been legally married to him under his alias "Bitu Sen" in an attempt to further solidify his web of lies. He would often move into temporary residences in Guwahati, never keeping a permanent address, and used his friends' flashy cars to make his 'romantic pursuit' more convincing. He had three different rented accommodations in Guwahati, where he continued his deceitful ways.
While his plans may have seemed foolproof, police are now unraveling the web of lies Bora wove, and the notorious fraudster’s charm has finally run its course.
It looks like Dipjyoti Bora has learned the hard way that you can’t scam your way into someone’s heart — or their bank account — without eventually getting caught.
