A Noida businessman, Rajat Bothra, was duped of Rs 9.09 crore in an online trading fraud through a WhatsApp group. The group, which promised lucrative stock market profits, convinced Bothra to invest small amounts, eventually leading to a total loss of Rs 9.09 crore. The fraud was reported to the Cyber Crime police station, and Rs 1.62 crore has been frozen in Bothra's account. Investigations are ongoing, with bank accounts linked to the scam traced to Chennai, Assam, Bhubaneswar, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Police are working to recover the remaining amount and apprehend the cyber criminals.
