After being detained by the police, the couple, identified as Gopal Chakrabarty (71) and Nilima Chakrabarty (61) confessed that they were invited by a seller from Bongalmara over the phone to collect the gold artefact at Rs 2.5 lakh.

However, the artefact, a statue of Jesus Christ on Cross, a common and typical representation of the infamous Bongalmara fake gold trade, was handed over to them by one Nasima Begum.

This the latest incident of the fake gold trade, which has become synonymous with Lakhimpur’s Bongalmara region reoccurring again and again after regular intervals with seemingly no end.

Earlier, people from different parts of the state or from other northeastern states were duped by these fake gold traders but since 2019, buyers from Uttar Pradesh and Punjab too have been lured to Bongalmara and duped.

Despite arrests of traders of this illicit activity and recovery of fake gold artefacts along with the duped customers, the police have remained unsuccessful in eradicating the crime.

This is happening at a time when Assam Police is being empowered by chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to root out all types of criminal activities.

The public here is of the view that why the police have failed in eradicating the crime of fake gold and counterfeit notes within a radius of less than 30 square kilometres.
