A Tezpur-based woman, Jyotika Kalita, who allegedly married a Pakistani national, has been sent to jail after being arrested in a suspected foreign money transfer case. She was detained on December 5 upon her return from Dubai, where the questionable financial transactions reportedly took place.
Police began investigating after receiving information that large amounts of money were being deposited into the bank account of a family in Borjhar village. Following suspicious transfers worth several lakhs from abroad, authorities registered Case No. 770/25 under Sections 316(2), 380(4), 340(2), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and launched a detailed probe.
During the investigation, four individuals from Borjhar village were arrested — Jyotika Kalita, Jitu Kalita, Simu Das, and Abhijit Das. While the three were sent to Tezpur Central Jail on December 5, Jyotika was initially placed in police custody for questioning. On Thursday, after being produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s Court, she too was sent to Tezpur Jail.
Police sources revealed that Jyotika had married a Pakistani national on February 25 this year and had since travelled to several foreign destinations, including Dubai and the UAE. Investigators also seized 44 ATM cards, 17 bank passbooks, cheque books, and multiple documents from Jyotika and her associates, suggesting the existence of a wider financial network.
The case remains under active investigation, with authorities probing cross-border links and the origin of the foreign funds.
