Cybercriminals Defraud Noida Trader of Over Rs 9 Crore via WhatsApp, Police Freeze Rs 1.62 Crore



The bank accounts where the fraudulent money was sent were to be spread across multiple locations, including Chennai, Assam, Bhubaneswar, Haryana, and Rajasthan, according to the ACP.  


Noida: Police stated Thursday that cybercriminals in Noida have defrauded an inernet trader out of more than Rs 9 crore via WhatsApp. The police claim that fraud occurred over the course of a month after Rajat Bothra, a resident of sector 40, joined a stock market trading-related WhatsApp group on May 1. Further investigations are being conducted, they added. An FIR was filed at the Cyber Crime police station in Sector 36 on Friday, and the businessman's account has had Rs 1.62 crore in transacted monies stopped.


"Bothra told the police that on May 1, he joined the WhatsApp group. After learning about the potential for profit from share market trading, the group began making modest bets. He has invested Rs 9.09 crore in share trading by May 27. But after that, his trading account was closed," stated Vivek Ranjan Rai, Assistant Commissioner of Police at the Cybercrime Police Station. 


We launched an investigation as soon as we received the report, and thus far, we have been able to freeze Rs 1.62 crore in his bank account," Rai stated.


The ACP stated that during the inquiry, it was discovered that the bank accounts from which the fraudulent funds were transferred are spread throughout multiple locations, including Chennai, Assam, Bhubaneswar, Haryana, and Rajasthan. 


He claimed that in order to look into the matter and apprehend the cyberthugs involved, a special squad has been assembled. 


The police also asked the people to be on the lookout for new forms of cybercrime and to report them as soon as possible by calling the emergency number 112 or the central hotline number 1930, or by visiting the cyber desk at their local police stations.
