Telegram Investment Fraud Racket Busted — ₹4.8 Lakh Cheating Case Exposes Major Mule Account Network
The Cyber Police Station, Central District has exposed a major Telegram-based investment fraud racket that duped citizens through fake high-return investment schemes. A Delhi woman was cheated of around ₹4.80 lakh after being lured by a Telegram user named “Ms. Lalitha” who posed as an investment advisor. Initially, small profits were shown to win her trust before larger sums were siphoned off into multiple bank accounts.
An FIR (No. 33/25) was registered, and a dedicated team led by Ms. Sulekha Jagarwar, IPS (ACP Operations) and Insp. Sandeep Panwar, SHO/Cyber PS, launched a detailed investigation.
