Delhi Police have apprehended a 44-year-old man suspected of conning a woman out of Rs 29 lakh using a fraudulent online investment scheme, authorities announced recently.
The suspect, Chothmal Saini from Sikar, Rajasthan, has been implicated in multiple cyber fraud cases. The victim alleged she was drawn into a fake online part-time job, directed to invest thousands, and misled by faux returns shown in a digital account.
Believing the platform's authenticity, the woman deposited Rs 29 lakh in several accounts provided by the swindlers who posed as investment consultants. When her supposed returns jumped into crores, her attempts to cash out were blocked, prompting her to report the scam to the police. Authorities arrested Saini in a Sikar hotel and are searching for other suspects linked to the operation.
