In Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, cyber thugs cheated a youth of Rs 1.02 crore by luring him with huge profits in online trading. Amit Kumar, a resident of Madhavnagar in the city Kotwali area, was first lured through a phone call and then through a WhatsApp group. The fraudsters got the investment done by downloading a fake trading app and initially sent some amount back to give confidence. Later, gradually crores of rupees were transferred from the victim.
In the complaint given to the police, the victim Amit Kumar told that in the last week of December 2025, a call had been received on his mobile. The caller, claiming to be involved in stock trading, claimed to be making huge profits through online classes and share buying and selling. After this, on January 1, 2026, his number was added to the WhatsApp group named Fisdom Institutional Stock Trading. During this time, he was also included in another group named Amit VIP Exclusive Service Team-15, where investment tips and personal notifications related to the stock market were given.
On January 12, group administrator Rakshita Ved contacted in private chat and advised to invest through a new trading app. Through the link sent on January 21, Amit downloaded an app named FisdPro, registered in it and started trading. Initially, he also withdrew Rs 24,100 from the app and received it in his bank account, which further increased his confidence. After this, he started investing huge amounts continuously and kept sending the money to different bank accounts of the accused between January 21 and March 5, 2026.
The swindlers pretended to have allotted shares worth more than Rs 35 lakh to the victim by luring him with the promise of investing in an IPO. Later, in the name of withdrawal of money, a demand was made to deposit short term tax of Rs 3.12 crore and pressure was made to deposit another Rs 50 lakh. When there was suspicion, investigation was done and it was found that the fraudsters had created a fake app by fraudulently using the name and logo of a company. The victim had transferred a total of Rs 1.02 crore from his own and his parents’ accounts. SP City Vyom Bindal said that on March 8, 2026, the victim came and filed a complaint against which the police have registered a case in the entire matter and further action is being taken after investigation by the cyber crime police.
