A 33-year-old man from Kurla, Mumbai, was defrauded of Rs 6.88 lakh in a cryptocurrency investment scam. He was added to a Telegram group promising assured Bitcoin returns. After initial small investments yielded profits, he transferred a larger sum. The fraudsters then demanded an additional tax, raising his suspicion, leading him to report the incident to the police. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the law.
