Assam Government has recently transferred over 40 cases related to the multi-crore trading scam to CBI.
Barman, a 29-year-old who posed as the director of DB Stock Broking, allegedly lured investors with promises of high returns, only to disappear on August 21, leaving investors with substantial financial losses.

The scam was uncovered when the returns failed to materialise, and his Guwahati office was found locked. A two-month manhunt ensued, culminating in his capture.
Following his arrest, Barman is expected to be presented before a court in Goa before being transferred to Guwahati under transit remand for further investigation into what has emerged as one of Assam’s largest financial fraud cases.
