She promptly reported the incident to the cyber cell, bank officials, and the Kotwali police station, leading to an ongoing investigation.

Investment Fraud

Chhabi Sethi from Sector-50, Sector-49 Kotwali area, fell victim to an investment scam. She received a message promising high returns on investments. Trusting the offer, she transferred 3.84 lakhs to several accounts. Initially, she received some profit, but the fraudsters later reported losses and disconnected their phones, leaving Chhabi without her money. She has lodged a complaint with the cyber cell and Kotwali police, who have started the search for the culprits.

Both incidents have sparked significant concern among residents. “This is a worrying trend. We are investigating both cases with priority,” said a senior police official. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, such fraud cases have seen a 15% rise in the past year.
