Kolhapur doctor loses Rs 1.1 crore in cyber fraud, 2 arrested
In a shocking case of cyber fraud, a doctor from Kolhapur was duped of Rs 1.1 crore through an online investment scam. After a year-long investigation, the city police arrested two men from Surat, Gujarat, in connection with the fraud.
The victim, Dr. Nitin Prabhakar Deshapande, who lives on Mahadwar Road, was tricked by fraudsters last year. The scammers had created a fake website that looked like it belonged to the global investment firm "Stanley Morgan." Believing the site to be genuine and lured by the promise of high returns, Dr. Deshapande invested a large amount of money.
