Panchkula, July 13 -- The cybercrime police on July 10 have arrested three more accused in the Rs.1.61 crore stock market fraud case. The three arrested accused have been identified as Sumit and Manjeet from Sisrana, Sonepat. The third accused is Pradeep from Thanakalan, Sonepat.

This brings the total arrests to five. The team meticulously gathered digital evidence, WhatsApp chats, and account details to secure these arrests.

The case stems from a complaint by Ajay Gill, a local academy owner, who was swindled after joining a WhatsApp group via a Facebook link on April 1, 2024. He was promised high returns on stock investments, leading to a total loss of Rs.1.61 crore. The fraudsters also misused his and his wife's Aadhaar cards.
