Pune Nurse Loses Rs 4 Lakh in Investment Scam Involving Ratan Tata Deepfake Video
A 38-year-old nurse from Pune was allegedly defrauded of over Rs 4 lakh after encountering a deepfake video of late industrialist Ratan Tata promoting investments. Believing the video genuine, she shared personal details and was contacted by a caller offering investment opportunities in 'World Tradex.' Between October 2024 and June 2025, she made 11 transactions totaling Rs 4,09,100. The fraudsters provided a fake portal showing profits, but when she attempted withdrawal, she was asked for more funds. The Pune Cyber Police registered an FIR and are investigating.
