Porvorim Police have arrested three more people in connection with the fraud case involving siphoning money from the Goa Samagra Shiksha account.
According to sources, after two accused were arrested last month, two teams from Porvorim Police Station went to New Delhi and West Bengal. Based on technical surveillance and intelligence, the first team arrested an account holder, Sumanta Santosh Mondal, aged 40, from Nadia, West Bengal, near Karimpur police station limits. He is being brought to Goa on transit remand from Tehatta Court.
After this arrest, it was revealed that two other accused had fled to Delhi and were hiding there. With help from Delhi Police, they were found in the Paharganj area. These two have been identified as 1. Alamin Majid Mondal, aged 35, from Nadia, West Bengal, and 2. Bidyadhar Madhabananda Mallick, aged 52, from Ramtala, Haora, Howrah, West Bengal. They were arrested on Sunday, 1 June 2025, and police custody for six days has been granted.
The investigation showed that these two accused had obtained bank details, SIM cards, and ATM cards of account holders and passed them on to their co-accused, who are still being tracked. In return, they received money from time to time.
