The <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/navi-mumbai-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Navi Mumbai Police in Maharashtra</a> have registered a case against six people for allegedly cheating a stock market trader of Rs 89 lakh, an official said on Tuesday, reported the PTI.
The victim, Abhishek Anandkumar Jain (41), is a resident of Kharghar in Navi Mumbai. Based on his complaint, the case was registered on February 12, he said, as per the PTI.
As per the complaint, the six alleged cyber fraudsters lured the victim into investing into the stock market. They did not reveal their names to him and used mobile phones, social messaging apps and websites to communicate with him, according to the PTI.
Between December 25 last year and February 9 this year, he transferred a total of Rs 89 lakh into various bank accounts mentioned by the accused. However, when the victim later tried to retrieve his invested amount along with the returns through a mobile application, he failed to do so, he said.
Realising that he had fallen victim to a scam, the victim approached the police and filed a complaint, he said.
A case under various <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/indian-penal-code-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Indian Penal Code (IPC)</a> sections, including cheating, and the Information Technology Act, was registered at the Cyber police station in Navi Mumbai.
Meanwhile, a&nbsp;complaint has been filed against two people in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, for allegedly causing a businessman to lose Rs 28.53 lakh in a light diesel oil supply scam, according to police sources on Sunday.
According to a police complaint filed by the 31-year-old businessman, during a period of non-production at his chemical company in Taloja, a former employee and a vendor worked together to obtain light diesel oil for the company without necessary licence.
The oil obtained through this unauthorised method was later sold, resulting in considerable financial benefits for the accused and a loss of Rs 28,53,076 to the businessman's Nashik-based organisation, according to a Taloja police official.
The alleged fraudulent operations occurred between March 2022 and September 2023, according to the businessman.
Based on the complaint, officials filed a case against the former employee and the vendor on Saturday under sections 420 (cheating) and 406 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code and notified the police.
