Barpeta POCSO Case Accused Detained at Guwahati’s Beltola Tiniali

A young man wanted in connection with a POCSO case registered in Assam’s Barpeta district was detained by local residents at Beltola Tiniali in Guwahati early Monday morning, leading to a tense situation in the area.

The man, identified as Faruk Abdullah, had allegedly been evading arrest after fleeing Barpeta and travelling to Guwahati. According to reports, residents spotted him at Beltola Tiniali and confronted him before informing the police.

Several ATM cards were reportedly found in Abdullah’s possession when he was detained. The discovery prompted further questions about the circumstances surrounding his presence in the city and whether the cards were connected to any other suspected offence.
Following information from local residents, a team from Hatigaon Police Station arrived at the location and took Abdullah into custody. He was subsequently brought to the police station for questioning.

Investigators are now looking into how Abdullah travelled from Barpeta to Guwahati and what circumstances led to his detention at Beltola Tiniali.

Further questioning and verification are expected to provide more details about the allegations against him. Police will take additional legal steps based on the evidence gathered during the investigation.
