Sonai Police in Assam arrested Sayan Ahmed Choudhury from Kajidahar Part-I for posing as a fake journalist. Choudhury blackmailed Aftarun Nesa from Dungripar Part-I, demanding 1 lakh rupees to avoid posting a private video of her son on social media. Nesa paid 5 thousand rupees before realizing the fraud and filing an FIR against him.
Choudhury posed as a journalist and used a fake Facebook page called Barak News to deceive people. Sonai Police detained him and recovered a fake identity card. Authorities urge the public to be cautious as some individuals misuse media for blackmail, harming the profession’s reputation. Investigation agencies are advised to take strict action against such fraudulent activities.
