A 47-year-old woman from Viveknagar joined a WhatsApp group to invest her total savings of ₹73. 7 lakh on shares and IPO in a U.S.-based company. Little did she know that she would become a victim of fraud, as she was removed from the WhatsApp group after she tried to withdraw the money from her wallet.
Based on a complaint, the police have registered a case under the IT Act and under impersonation and cheating for further investigation.
The victim, in her complaint, said that she was introduced to “ KKR group”, a “U.S.-based shares company,” through her Instagram account and was promised shares and IPOs of reputed companies at concessional rates.
