Over 100 similar complaints have been registered against the three accused, highlighting a broader pattern of online trading fraud.
Puducherry's cyber police arrested three residents of Tamil Nadu's Karur, Namakkal, and Tiruppur districts for orchestrating online financial fraud. The investigation was triggered by a complaint from an investor who lost ₹1.26 crore after being contacted by a woman offering unusually high investment returns. Police seized two laptops, four mobile phones, five bank passbooks, and three SIM cards from the accused. The investigation revealed that more than 100 complaints had been filed against the same three individuals in similar schemes. All three have been remanded to judicial custody. Police issued a public advisory warning against investing based on unverified claims of high returns on social media and cautioning people against sharing bank details with strangers.
