Guwahati, 19 December (HS): The court granted bail to reel heroine Sumi Bora, who was jailed in the online trading scam case.
Meanwhile, the accused in all other cases being investigated by the CBI have got bail as the charge sheet was not filed by the CBI within the stipulated time limit. In the last case of CBI, the Guwahati High Court granted bail to Sumi Bora.
It is known that despite getting bail, Sumi Bora will remain in jail. Many other cases related to the trading scam are pending against Sumi Bora.
It is worth mentioning that Assamese actress Sumi Bora and her husband Tarik Bora were arrested for being involved in the ₹2,200 crore online trading scam. In September, they were arrested after surrendering in Dibrugarh.
She had close ties with Bishal Phukan, the prime accused in the scam, who allegedly spent ₹5 crore on Sumi's wedding.
Sumi is accused of using her contacts in the Assamese film industry to lure investors into Phukan's online trading scheme, promising them high returns.
After the arrest, Sumi and her husband were handed over to the Dibrugarh police where they were questioned in detail.
The case was being investigated by the Assam Police's Special Task Force (STF) and the CID, which was later handed over to the CBI by Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma.
