According to reports, Adityam Sakia has clarified his involvement in the project, explaining the nature of his relationship with the two individuals.

In recent developments surrounding the alleged fraud case involving Bishal Phukan and Sumi Bora, the name of Adityam Sakia, a film maker, has come under scrutiny. Sakia, who was working on a film project being sponsored by Bishal Phukan, is now being linked to the alleged fraud.
Adityam Sakia has clarified his involvement in the film project, explaining the nature of his relationship with the two individuals. “Bishal was the producer, and Sumi played a small part in the film. I know them through our work in the industry, and our contact was primarily for that reason.”
“They approached me for clothing for her wedding, and that’s how we developed a bond. I have also collaborated with Tarkik (Sumi’s husband) on various projects.” he added.
However, after a brief period, the film production faced obstacles and came to a halt. Sakia has now spoken out, addressing the current controversy. He stated that if Phukan and Bora are indeed involved in fraudulent activities, he wishes to sever all ties with them. Sakia’s distancing from the duo suggests he wants to remain uninvolved in the legal and ethical implications of the alleged fraud.
It is to be mentioned that Bishal Phukan, who identifies himself as an industrialist, singer and music composer was arrested from Dibrugarh on Tuesday. He is accused of defrauding people of over Rs 2,000 crore.
Sumi Borah, actor, choreographer and influencer who is said to have benefitted from the ill-gotten proceeds of Bishal Phukan, is on the run.
Sumi with her husband, popular photographer Tarkik Borah, were hiding at the residence of popular Assam singer Dikhsu Sarma but managed to flee before police arrived.

Bishal is in police custody since his arrest on Tuesday.
