MUMBAI, Nov. 23 -- In yet another instance of cyber frauds invoking the names of famous personalities in the finance world to dupe their victims, a retired doctor from Mahim was cheated of nearly Rs.1.47 crore by frauds pretending to be affiliated to finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman. According to the central cyber police, on October 1, the retired doctor came across an advertisement on social media which contained a photo of Sitharaman. He mistook the post for a central government scheme which claimed it could turn a Rs.21,000 investment into Rs.60,000. The police said the former doctor clicked the provided link, uploaded his details, and soon got a call from a woman who introduced herself as Meenakshi, one of the employees of the share trading platform. On October 5, the complainant invested Rs.1,000 and immediately saw a Rs.108 profit. The man invested a total of Rs.1.47 crore through the app which displayed his profits at nearly Rs.6 crore. When the retired doctor decided to withdraw the money, he was asked to pay Rs.90 lakh worth taxes and other fees. "Suspecting something was wrong he approached a friend who told him he had been cheated," said a police officer. Following his complaint, the police have registered a case under relevant sections of the BNS and IT Act....
