In a recent cyber fraud case in New Delhi, two men, Shashikant Sharma and Deepak, were arrested for allegedly cheating a victim out of ₹7 lakh (approximately $8,400 USD) through a fake stock investment scheme. The scheme was operated via a social media app, where the victim was initially contacted by fraudsters posing as representatives of a legitimate firm. They provided fake credentials and offered free stock recommendations to lure the victim into investing. After the victim invested, he was shown fictitious investments and a false portfolio. When he attempted to withdraw his funds, he realized he had been defrauded. The police traced part of the funds to a bank account associated with a shell company in central Delhi. Investigators have linked 29 complaints to this syndicate, which is believed to have made no actual investments. The police recovered digital evidence and are continuing their investigation to uncover additional members of the fraud network.
