Even as investigation continues into the sensational online trading scams, another major scam has come to light from Assam’s transport department.
As per inputs, Bongaigaon District Transport Officer (DTO) Deepak Patowary has been arrested on Sunday for registering vehicles in the name of Lakshadweep Transport Department.
