Assam Woman Arrested for Pakistani Links and Suspicious International Money Laundering Network

Jyotika Kalita, apprehended by Assam Police, faces serious allegations regarding suspicious international financial activities.

Guwahati:

Authorities in Assam's Sonitpur district have arrested a woman following the discovery of suspicious financial transactions connected to foreign entities. Investigations revealed she had reportedly married a Pakistani citizen in Dubai.

Police have also taken four additional individuals into custody, including the woman's brother, in connection with the case.

The suspect, identified as Jyotika Kalita, was arrested on December 5 and subsequently placed in judicial custody after investigators uncovered evidence suggesting extensive movement of foreign funds across multiple bank accounts associated with her. Law enforcement officials indicate she is under investigation for potential money laundering activities involving international sources.

Preliminary investigations suggest that Jyotika secretly entered into marriage with a Pakistani citizen during her employment in Dubai, a claim that has been confirmed by her family members. Authorities have characterized the Pakistani individual as a citizen of a hostile nation.

During their investigation, police discovered that while Jyotika traveled to Dubai ostensibly for business purposes, she had clandestinely married a Pakistani national named Ramzan Muhammad.

Further findings indicate she allegedly transferred substantial amounts of money illegally through a network of mule accounts. Police sources report she is also implicated in online fraudulent activities across several countries, including Mauritius, Nepal, and Bangladesh.

Investigators have established that she maintained direct connections with Pakistani operatives based in the United Kingdom and Middle Eastern countries who utilized mule account networks to channel funds.

Legal proceedings have been initiated against her. Authorities have identified 17 bank accounts linked to Jyotika Kalita, into which substantial financial deposits were reportedly made. Law enforcement officers have seized 44 ATM cards and numerous checkbooks during the investigation.
