Delhi Police have arrested Gurinder Sharma, a resident of Chandigarh, and Pradeep Kumar Doobe, an employee at a petrol pump in Chandigarh, for their involvement in an investment scam that defrauded a local resident of ₹1.60 lakh (approximately $1,950 USD). The victim was lured into investing in a fictitious stock market scheme named 'Elara Capital Investment Company' via social media. After transferring the amount in eight transactions, the victim realized he had been cheated. Investigators traced the funds, revealing that the scam was part of a larger cyber fraud network with an estimated total fraud amount of ₹68 lakh (approximately $8,200 USD) across various states, including Himachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, and Maharashtra. The accused allegedly used mule bank accounts and merchant platforms to conceal the origin of the funds. Police recovered two mobile phones and three bank passbooks from the suspects, who are believed to have been motivated by financial gains from commissions for facilitating the fraudulent transactions.
