Financial Influencer Apologizes for Controversial Remarks on Assam's Traditions

Abhishek Kar issues public apology after Assam Chief Minister's Office calls for action over claims of 'tantric' practices in podcast.

Abhishek Kar, a financial influencer with millions of followers, apologized for comments made during a podcast about Assam's traditions, which included claims of supernatural practices in Mayong.
The Assam Chief Minister's Office labeled Kar's remarks as 'unacceptable' and directed the police to take appropriate action, leading to an investigation and an FIR being filed against him.
Kar's comments, which referenced women allegedly turning humans into goats using tantric powers, were criticized for spreading misinformation and offending public sentiment.
In a video apology, Kar stated that his remarks were unintentional, expressed regret for hurting sentiments, and promised to be more cautious with secondary sources in the future.
The controversial podcast clip has since been removed at Kar's request, and he has assured greater vigilance in his public statements moving forward.
