India, Sept. 3 -- The cyber cell of the Uttarakhand police arrested a man from Delhi for allegedly duping a general manager of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) of Rs.7.39 crore on the pretext of investing the amount in the stock market, a police officer said. Police identified the accused as Shadab Hussain, a resident of Izzatnagar, Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh. He was arrested from Jamia Nagar, Jogabai Extension in Delhi on Monday. Senior Superintendent of Police (STF) Navneet Singh Bhullar said the FIR was registered at the Cyber Police Station in Dehradun under Sections 66-D (cheating by personation using computer resources) of the IT Act, 318(4) (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), and 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in August. General manager of ONGC at Agartala in Tripura, Sanjeev Kumar Arya, who is a resident of Ajabpur Khurd in Dehradun, said, "On June 15, I received a WhatsApp link to join a group named M2 Wealth Secrets Exchange Group. Out of curiosity, I joined. The group had three admins and 173 members. One of the admins, Mukesh Kumar, began sharing stock market investment tips that initially appeared genuine. On July 25, he shared a link to install an app named Cantillion while urging members to invest. My number was later added to another group, Disciple Team, which had seven members and an admin. Members were encouraged to invest in IPO shares. I got greedy and decided to invest. I deposited money in the bank accounts shared in the group." "In total, I transferred Rs.7.39 crore into 15 different bank accounts. I was made to believe my profits would multiply several times. However, when I requested to withdraw Rs.5 crore, I was asked to first pay Rs.3 crore as withdrawal tax. I was denied withdrawal, and later realised I had been cheated. The fraudsters provided fabricated investment certificates, manipulated screenshots, and false profit statements to keep me convinced until the very last moment," Arya added. "A total of 33 cybercrime complaints have been registered against these accounts across several states, of which four FIRs have surfaced so far," the SSP said. During questioning, the victim said that of the total Rs.7.39 crore, about Rs.2.5 crore was his savings while the rest was borrowed through loans. "We are also probing how he managed to raise such a large amount. Appropriate action will be taken accordingly," he added....
