On February 20th, the Lubbock Police Department Internet Crimes Against Children Task force along with investigators from the League City Police Department, affected the arrest of Nilanjan Brahma, 50, of League City TX. The LPD ICAC and LCPD served three search warrants and one arrest warrant after a nine month online undercover investigation conducted by the LPD ICAC.
