In Pune, two software engineer brothers lost Rs 2.45 crore in an online trading scam that began on a WhatsApp group. The scammers added the brothers to a group promising huge profits through share trading. Initially, fake software showed them high profits, prompting them to invest more money. Eventually, they transferred Rs 1.68 crore to multiple accounts, believing they had earned Rs 8 crore. When they tried to withdraw, they were told their accounts were locked by SEBI. Realizing it was a scam, they reported it to the police.
