Two separate online stock investment fraud cases have been reported in India. In Delhi, three individuals—Inderjeet, Pawan Kumar, and Gaurav Tyagi—were arrested after a grocery shop owner lost Rs 17.10 lakh through a social media group promising high returns. Investigations revealed the use of mule accounts and digital platforms to conceal funds. In Indore, a trader was duped of Rs 65.57 lakh via a fake app linked to a social media group, where virtual profits were shown but withdrawals were blocked. Police investigations are ongoing in both cases.
