2 Panchkula residents lose ₹36L to cyber fraudsters

Two residents were duped of over ₹36 lakh in an online investment fraud after being lured through social media and messaging platforms with promises of high returns.

In the first case, a 35-year-old resident of Sector 21, reported that she was cheated of ₹24.7 lakh in a fake stock trading and IPO scam. According to the complainant, she came across an advertisement on Facebook on October 29, 2025, and clicked on a link that added her to a group where stock trading activities were being discussed. Members of the group promised profits of up to 20% on stock purchases.
