The arrested individual, identified as Md Safiur Rahman, aged 45 and residing in Guwahati's Bhetapara locality, stands accused of playing a pivotal role in the creation of counterfeit land documents.
The arrest unfolded under the jurisdiction of Crime Branch Police Station, Case Number 09/23, under sections 120/419/420/468/471/409 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
