Assamese actor, choreographer and social media influencer Sumi Bora, against whom the police had issued a 'Look Out' circular in connection with a multi-crore stock market trading scam, said she will surrender on Wednesday.

Speaking from an undisclosed location, Bora said defamatory news about her, her family, and close associates had prompted her decision to surrender and "fully cooperate with police."

She clarified that she was not absconding but had been in hiding due to the mental harassment caused by the circulating media reports.

Bora expressed frustration with the media, claiming that the coverage had conducted a "trial" and "hanged" her before any legal process had begun.

She assured that she would cooperate fully and expressed confidence that the courts would provide justice based on evidence rather than media reports.

"A lot of defamatory news has been going around against me in a section of the media and not even 10 percent of that is correct. The media has conducted my trial and hanged me even before the courts could begin legal process," she said.

She claimed that she was not mentally prepared to make any statement earlier but gathered courage to announce that she will surrender. -- PTI
