Conman in custody: Sahil Khan busted in Guwahati for multi-lakh fraud web, arms seized

Sahil Khan, a 27-year-old accused of defrauding numerous individuals, was arrested by Dispur Police during a raid on his luxury apartment in Kahilipara. Khan, who was on Dibrugarh Police’s most wanted list, allegedly swindled lakhs of rupees from victims through various fraudulent activities. His arrest marks a significant step in the ongoing battle against fraud in the region.

Previously operating in Dibrugarh, Khan relocated to Guwahati, where he continued his deceptive schemes. His criminal activities include duping a businessman in Amingaon out of ₹78 lakh. Khan reportedly lived a lavish lifestyle, possessing several luxury vehicles and hiring a private security officer to pose as a high-ranking official. Such audacity highlights the extent of his deceitful operations.

The arrest followed a police operation triggered by suspicion over a vehicle without a number plate linked to Khan's apartment. During the raid, authorities confiscated a pistol, fake bank seals, and other suspicious materials. These discoveries point to Khan’s extensive fraudulent operations and deceptive practices. The confiscated items are crucial evidence in unravelling the full scope of his criminal network.
