Assam Police Arrest Man for Faking Email of CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

On Tuesday, Assam Police arrested a 32‑year‑old man in Guwahati after evidence surfaced that he had set up a fake email address claiming to belong to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The email was used to send misleading messages to political activists and the public, potentially undermining the CM’s credibility. Police officials said the suspect was identified through forensic analysis of the email’s metadata and cross‑checked with the CM’s official communication channels. The arrested individual is now in custody and faces charges under the Information Technology Act for creating a fraudulent identity and for defamation. Authorities have urged the public to verify official communications from the CM’s office before taking any action.
