An executive employed with a multi-national investment banking company became a victim of investment fraud and lost Rs 31 lakh in the process. The Nayanagar police are investigating the case.

According to police sources, the man was at his home in Mira Road on January 20, when he received a WhatsApp message from a woman who enticed him with the promise of earning extra part-time income and making profits through investment in share trading. Deceived by the offer, the man agreed to invest. The accused woman sent him two different links via WhatsApp and instructed him to fill in his details.
