Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has directed the state police to take strict action against financial influencer Abhishek Kar for making controversial and misleading statements about Assam’s traditions and history in a recent YouTube podcast.

In a statement issued on Friday, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) condemned the content of a video circulating on the “Riya Upreti” YouTube channel, where Kar allegedly claimed that women in a village in Assam have the ability to transform humans into animals and engage in tantric practices.

The CMO affirmed that “appropriate action” would be taken against Kar for spreading misinformation, while Assam’s Director General of Police, GP Singh, assured that “lawful action” would follow.

Kar, who has 1.86 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and 2.9 million Instagram followers, is known for offering financial advice on stock markets and business.
