In a major breakthrough in an online financial scam case, the Narayanpur Police arrested Sunny Kumar alias Montu (38) from HEC Colony, Ranchi. The arrest was made in connection with a case registered on May 29, 2025 (Narayanpur P.S. Case No. 127/2025) involving a fake online share trading platform.
Investigators revealed that Sunny Kumar received Rs30 lakh in his business account from unsuspecting victim Subhabrata Sinha, who was lured with promises of enormous returns. The fraud unfolded between April and May, with Sinha investing money via a fraudulent app.
During the raid, police seized Kumar’s Aadhar card, PAN card, cheque book, and a Samsung mobile phone with BSNL and Airtel SIM cards, all linked to the operations.
Sunny Kumar is expected to be presented before the Barrackpore ACJM Court for police remand. Authorities suspect the involvement of a larger inter-state financial fraud network, and further investigation is underway.
