Mumbai: A 45-year-old tea café owner from Ghatkopar has been duped of Rs 34.6 lakh in an online share trading fraud after being lured by a social media investment group. Between Dec 24, 2025 and March 11, 2026, the complainant transferred the amount. He realised he had been cheated when he attempted to withdraw some amount and the transaction failed, and he was allegedly asked to deposit money for withdrawal.
