Cybercriminals defrauded Rs 51 lakh from Saurabh Kumar (20), son of Development Officer (DO) Surendra Kumar, working in Nawada branch of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), on the pretext of making 200 per cent profit in the name of online trading. Cybercriminals are said to have added Saurabh Kumar on WhatsApp. He was lured into online trading and buying IPOs to make multiple profits within a few days. Claiming that a company named Aviva Investors Emerging Market Equity Core Fund is listed with SEBI, a girl named Shruti Aggarwal, the alleged online assistant of the company, showed Saurabh fake demat accounts of many people. Within a few days the amount deposited multiplied. After this, an account of Saurabh was also opened and gradually money was transferred online. Seeing the continuous increase of rupees in the demat account, Saurabh was duped and transferred thousands of rupees to that account defrauded of Rs 23 lakhs in the name of income tax:

Meanwhile, the cyber criminals showed Rs 1 crore 47 lakh cash from his fake demat account. But when Saurabh contacted the goons when he was unable to withdraw the money, they asked him to deposit Rs 23 lakh in the name of income tax to withdraw the money. Even after depositing Rs 23 lakh, the money could not be withdrawn. Even after this, when the criminals started demanding more money, Saurabh realized that he had been a victim of fraud.
