In Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, a 43-year-old woman named Jyoti Kori was defrauded of ₹25 lakh by scammers who exploited her trust through online trading promises. The fraudsters claimed their company was affiliated with prominent figures like the Prime Minister, Finance Minister, and a significant industrialist. The case was initially registered as a zero FIR in Vidisha, with the incident taking place in Bhopal's Kolar area, leading to its transfer to the Kolar police for investigation.
According to reports, Kori received a call on June 29 from an unknown number, which introduced itself as a representative of a trading company. They offered high returns from stock market investments and initially demanded Rs 20,000 for registration and another Rs 20,000 for account activation. Subsequently, she deposited additional sums of Rs 50,000 and Rs 30,000 for trading purposes.
The suspects continued to extract money under various pretexts, ultimately defrauding her of the total amount of ₹25 lakh. Kolar police station in-charge Sanjay Soni confirmed that a case had been registered, and the police are now investigating the phone numbers and tracing the bank accounts that received the funds.
