In Cachar, a fake Police officer arrested on August 14, for collecting money from people falsely assuring them jobs as drivers in the Assam Police. This is not the first time the man arrested in this case it is the second time.
A 23, years old Samid Hussain Barbhuiya, son of Waisuddin Barbhuiya of Khelma Part-VI under Kalain Police station, arrested once again for impersonating a police officer. Earlier in December, 2021 he arrested in a similar case, when he upload a photograph of himself wearing the uniform of sub-inspector, claiming he had secured job in Assam Police.
According to police, on August 14, Samid arrested for pretending to be an Assam Police officer and even shared photos of himself in uniform. He allegedly took money from several people in Rupaibali under Lakhipur Police Station, promising them jobs as drivers in the Assam Police.
Following a complaint, a case registered at Kalain Police Station (Case No. 88/2025) under Sections 319(2), 318(2), 316(2), and 112(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Later, the accused sent to judicial custody.
Cachar SSP Numal Mahatta told the media that the accused caught after police received a tip-off about his activities. Samid was pretending to be a sub-inspector and demanding money from people, promising them jobs as drivers in the Assam Police.
The SSP said that during the investigation, they discovered that Samid had several sets of police uniforms for different seasons and even a nameplate in his name. “With such an appearance, anyone could easily mistake him for a real police officer,” Mahatta explained.
Using these uniforms and accessories, Samid managed to fool many unsuspecting job-seekers and cheated them of money.
Investigations also revealed that before posing as a police officer, Samid had even pretended to be a doctor, treating patients and prescribing medicines without any qualifications.
Despite his earlier arrest, Samid continued his fraudulent activities. Police said his latest arrest shows a repeated pattern of cheating people using fake uniforms and false promises.
