Cyber criminals allegedly duped a Hyderabad-based businessman of Rs 85 lakh after he began investing in online share trading. The victim identified as Prabhakar Reddy, a native of Suryapet in his complaint to the police said that the fraudsters lured him with fake investment plan in stock market.

Believing her, Reddy invested Rs 85 lakh which was transferred to various bank accounts shared by the caller.

On realising that he was cheated, Prabhakar Reddy approached the police and lodged a complaint. The police who registered a case, found that the bank accounts provided to the victim are being operated from Bengaluru. Efforts are underway to nab the fraudsters.
