Nabanita Mishra filed a complaint with the police, in which she claimed that she was lured into a fake investment opportunity via online advertisements.In an FIR filed with the Cyber Crime Police Station, Ghaziabad, Mishra claimed she and her husband Mrinal Mishra made 22 transactions to various bank accounts between July and Aug, which amounted to a total of Rs 3.1 crore, in the name of stock trading.The complainant said that she came across an advertisement on Facebook. When she clicked on it, she was added to a WhatsApp group. The group claimed to be run by a popular investment platform that provides trading services, and its administrator was identified as Rajat Chopra. He encouraged group members to participate in a competition called GTC, promising good returns.Mishra said that she had to initially pay a monthly subscription of Rs 2,000 for investment advice, and then she was convinced to make transactions for shares and IPO investments. The transfer details were shared by a number belonging to the company. .Mishra also said that the company had given what appeared to be authentic SEBI registration details. Further, various members on the WhatsApp group would share details of transactions and profits.The complainant said for one of the IPO transactions, the company loaned her Rs 80 lakh, but when she tried to access her account, it said she had to repay the debt. She mortgaged her late father’s fixed deposits to do so. Later, although she could see details of her investment and profits in the company app, she was not allowed to access the money and was told to pay tax. She got suspicions when she tried to invest in IPOs through other platforms but could not do so. She said the company informed her that it had international status and traded in high volume upper circuit stocks, hence she could not find similar opportunities elsewhere.Finally, upon probing for cyber frauds, she came across the details of the company. She tried to reach all the numbers on the WhatsApp group, including those of other investors, but they were unreachable. The numbers were registered in Rajasthan. A case was registered on Friday under Section 66 (D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) (cheating) of BNS.
