Hathras, Uttar Pradesh: Cybercrime police arrested an accused in a ₹32 lakh online stock market fraud following a complaint lodged by Naresh Rohilla, a resident of Amravati Enclave.

Facebook Stock Market Ad Led to Fraud

According to reports, in April, Rohilla came across a stock market investment advertisement on Facebook. He was asked to download a fake trading application where a so-called “relationship manager” convinced him to invest. Over ₹32 lakh were siphoned off through this scam.

Acting on the complaint filed on June 20, police managed to freeze nearly ₹4.5 lakh of the stolen amount. On August 12, a cybercrime team used technical surveillance to track down and arrest the accused, identified as Rohit Sharma, from Hathras.

Investigation Underway

The accused has been remanded to six days of police custody. Authorities confirmed they have obtained vital leads and are working to trace others involved in the fraudulent network.
