After attending online training courses on stock market investments, the victim was allegedly seduced by claims of large profits.
The investigation claims that the victim was first exposed to a Telegram group run by a scammer who was impersonating Surendra Kumar Dubey, a trading leader. With users uploading screenshots of their alleged gains, the group, which had roughly 60 members, looked authentic. Later on, it was discovered that many of these members were imposters employed by the scammers.The engineer took their suggestion and used a URL the organization supplied to register a Demat account. He invested ₹10,000 initially, which doubled in just one week. He upped his investment after being encouraged by the results, eventually making ₹1.4 crore in profit.
He tried to withdraw ₹85,036 to test the legitimacy of the platform and was successful. His account was stopped, though, when he later attempted to withdraw ₹20 lakh. The scammers quickly removed the Telegram group and vanished from view.
A case has been filed under Section 318 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (cheating) and the Information Technology Act. To find the culprits, police have started an inquiry. Authorities have advised people to be cautious when making investments online and to confirm the legitimacy of platforms before making a financial commitment.
