Harendra Singh, a former Navy electrician, was the victim of a shocking online fraud in Navi Mumbai. Singh was swindled of ₹57.63 lakhs under the guise of lucrative online trading. The scam began when Singh received a message claiming to double his investments through dollar trading. Unfortunately, Singh was tricked into believing the false promises, leading to a two-month ordeal and a significant financial loss.
Upon realizing the deception, Singh reported the incident to the Kharghar police station. An investigation into the case has been launched, and preliminary inquiries suggest that he was coerced into purchasing dollars online under fraudulent pretenses.
This case serves as an important reminder that online trading carries risks. Before engaging in any online transactions, the public must exercise vigilance and verify the legitimacy of such financial propositions. In response to the rising instances of online scams, law enforcement agencies are stepping up efforts to identify and apprehend those responsible.
Meanwhile in Navi Mumbai, events will be organised to mark the birth anniversary of social reformer, Lahuji Vastad Salve. Such activities are expected to promote awareness of Salve's social work and its relevance in today's society.
