The new charge adds to the mounting fraud accusations against Rishiraj Borkotoky, alleging that he defrauded an individual of ₹6.5 crore.
This latest FIR comes just days after the 41-year-old Guwahati resident was detained by the Arunachal Pradesh Police for allegedly masterminding a financial scam. In that case, an Arunachal Pradesh-based businessman was reportedly defrauded of over ₹34.33 crore through falsified government documents, fictitious political connections, and online deceit.
According to investigators, Borkotoky convinced the businessman to invest in a proposed Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) manufacturing plant in Assam. To win the victim’s trust, he allegedly utilized forged documents ostensibly issued by central government institutions, fabricated high-level political ties, altered digital identities, and even used a WhatsApp account displaying a profile picture of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
