SHILLONG: Following a raid on Monday, police unearthed another fake financial company operating in the State without obtaining legal documents.
The illegal functioning of the Falcon Group of Companies at Upland Road, Laitumkhrah was brought to light after the city police conducted a raid at the company’s office.
Two employees of the company, Manabendra Talukdar (25) and Deewan Abdul Khayer (32), hailing from Barpeta and Guwahati respectively in Assam, have also been arrested in this connection.
The company has been operating for a year without valid documents.
“The total amount of money that the customers have deposited in the company is yet to be ascertained,” Additional Superintendent of Police (Crime) Vivek Syiem said here on Tuesday while adding that a criminal case has been registered in this regard and police is following up on the matter.
Syiem also informed that this company, with its headquarters in Kolkata, has duped many customers.
Barely a week ago, police had conducted a raid at the office of M/s Marple Infracom Pvt. Ltd at Khyndailad only to find that the company has been issuing debentures to the public without the possession of valid documents.
