A trader was defrauded of more than ₹1 crore after falling victim to a combined cryptocurrency and forex investment scam. The fraudsters allegedly gained the victim’s trust through online platforms, promising high and quick returns from digital asset and foreign exchange trading. After initial small gains, the trader invested larger sums, which were later siphoned off. When withdrawals were blocked and communication stopped, the scam came to light. Police have registered a case and are investigating the digital trail to identify those involved.
