Jorhat, May 3: In a startling incident in Jorhat, a group of individuals posing as officials from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) attempted to extort a sum of Rs 10 lakh from a local business establishment.
The incident occurred at DB Enterprise in Jorhat, where the fake CBI team made their demand.
According to sources, the imposters arrived at DB Enterprise claiming to be from the CBI and demanded a substantial sum of money from the business.
