A 37-year-old man residing in Sector 53 of Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, was scammed out of ₹56 lakh (approximately $67,000 USD) in a stock market investment fraud. The victim reported to the police that he was added to a WhatsApp group on February 9, where he was encouraged to invest in shares through a mobile application recommended by the group administrator. Initially investing ₹50,000, he eventually made a total of 24 transactions, amounting to ₹56.93 lakh by April 11. When he attempted to withdraw his funds, he faced demands for additional payments and received no satisfactory responses from the scammers. Realizing he had been deceived, he filed a complaint with the Cybercrime Branch on May 6. Authorities have registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and are currently tracing the money trail.
