Cyber thugs, along with an elderly Indra Mohan Singhal, cheated Rs 31 lakh in the name of investing in the stock. The thugs contacted him by sending a message on the Instagram ID. He was added to a WhatsApp group in the name of training share business. There were more than two hundred people members and group administrators were also there. Information about the share was given in the group.
He was told that investing through this group would benefit greatly. The elderly came under the guise of thugs and gradually sent 31 and a half lakh rupees to the account of thugs and invested in fake companies. However, he saw the investment amount in the ID given by the thugs in the WhatsApp group. But when he tried to withdraw the money, the fraud was detected. A similar complaint has also been made by Mahavir Tavania, a resident of Kachana at Khamhardih police station. Cyber thugs got 6 lakh 90 thousand rupees online from them by pretending to invest in the stock market. Mova Pandri and Khamhardih police are investigating the case.
