The Delhi Police have busted a cyber fraud syndicate operating through a fake stock trading application and arrested two men from Haryana for allegedly cheating a woman of ₹22.7 lakh, officials said on Tuesday.
The case came to light after Dr Amita Garg lodged a complaint on November 13, stating that she was added to a messaging app group named ‘Stan Chart Dialogue Forum L7’, where administrators shared investment tips.
One of the admins, posing as Yalini Guna, convinced her to invest through a mobile application and sent a download link.
Initially investing ₹2.7 lakh, the victim was shown fake profits on the app and pressured to invest more when she attempted to withdraw funds. She eventually transferred ₹22.7 lakh before being blocked.
Police traced the money trail via the NCRP portal and arrested Sameer and Dev Singh from Hisar.
Two phones and three SIM cards were seized, and further investigation is ongoing.
