The Tiruppur Cyber Crime Police arrested R. Dinooshan, a resident of Neruperichal, in connection with a major online investment scam involving a fake trading app. The suspect allegedly defrauded a complainant of Rs25.79 lakh.
The victim was lured into investing in a platform called Adit Pro, which was promoted through a WhatsApp group offering stock market tips and IPO investment advice. Trusting the group, the victim made several deposits but received no returns, prompting him to report the matter to the Cyber Crime Police.
A special investigation team, led by Inspector K. T. Kalaiyarasi, tracked the financial trail and identified a bank account registered under S.K. Enterprises, which was operated by Dinooshan. He was subsequently arrested and is now in custody as the investigation continues.
Authorities have urged the public to remain cautious about online investment platforms and avoid engaging in financial transactions based on unverified WhatsApp groups.
