After Bishal-Dipankar, Now Lady Fraudster Alpana Das of AD Stock Broking Dupes People of Crores

Based in Guwahati's Hengerabari area, the firm had promised returns of up to 13% monthly

First it was Dipankar Barman, then it was Bishal Phukan. Now it is a lady scamster who has duped people of crores of rupees. People of Assam are reeling under the tyranny of online trading fraudsters.

Alpana Das, owner of AD Stock Broking Financial Services Private Limited, Guwahati has managed to defraud people of their money and is now absconding.
The exact amount of money that she has defrauded is not known yet and is still under investigation.

The office is said to be situated in an apartment complex named Syndicate Orchid in Hengrabari. Alpana promised investors a 13% monthly interest, along with an additional 11% during a Janmashtami offer from August 28, 2023, to September 8, 2023, media reports said.

For a period of about two years everything was going fine. However, the scheme turned sour in July this year when payments to the investors stopped abruptly.

Investors landed up at the office but to their utter shock, they found the premises locked and Alpana had gone missing. It then came to light that Alpana had previously worked as a manager at the infamous DB Stock firm of Dipankar Barman, by far Assam’s biggest online trading scamster.

Several investors have since filed complaints at the Dispur Police Station, reporting the loss of their hard-earned money. Police are now conducting a manhunt to nab Alpana Das and are investigating her potential involvement in other fraudulent activities.

This latest scam has once again raised serious concerns about the growing prevalence of online trading frauds in Assam, prompting questions about the effectiveness of regulatory oversight and the safety of such investment platforms.

Earlier, in October, Dipankar Barman, the mastermind of behind Assam’s largest stock market scams, allegedly duping investors of thousands of crores with promises of high returns was arrested after being on the run for over two months.

In another case, Bishal Phukan, Sumi Borah, Tarkik Borah, and five others were arrested in connection with the multi-crore online trading scam in October.

Phukan, Borah, and her husband are currently in Guwahati Central Jail.
