In a related development, the CBI special court denied bail to Sumi Borah, the Assamese actress-influencer accused in a similar investment fraud case. Sumi and her husband Tarkik Borah were arrested earlier for their involvement in the Rs 2,200 crore scam masterminded by 22-year-old Bishal Phukan.

Additionally, the Gauhati High Court denied bail to Jinki Mili, the sister-in-law of Sumi Borah and another figure who had been arrested for her link to the scam.
