Indore Police Investigate Cyber Scam Using Fake CM Vijay Foundation NamePreviousNext

Authorities in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, are investigating a cyber scam involving fraudsters impersonating a fake 'CM Vijay Thalapathi Foundation' linked to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay. Scammers promise financial aid, loans, and startup grants, then extort registration and processing fees ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 60,000. Police have received multiple complaints and urge the public to verify foundation details through official channels and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement or cybercrime helplines.
