GUWAHATI: The Assam police arrested 38 persons for their alleged involvement in an online trading scam, reportedly involving Rs 2,200 crore. The accused were arrested from different parts of the state over the past few days.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma advised people to be wary and not fall into the traps of fraudsters.
