Pune: Father-Son Duo Defrauds Man Of Rs 66 Lakh With Lure of Bitcoin Crypto currency
Pune, 22nd November 2022: A 71-year-old man of Hadapsar filed a complaint with the Hinjewadi police alleging that a father-son team running an investment firm defrauded him of Rs 66 lakh.
The complainant claims that the Bavdhan duo made a six-month commitment to treble his Rs 33 lakh bitcoin investment.
Following the investment agreement, the complainant, a former employee of a private company, told police that between June and August 2020, he made an RTGS transfer to their bank account. As a guarantee, the latter provided him with a postdated cheque for Rs 66 lakh. The cheques were, however, returned due to insufficient funds. The old man started following the pair to get his money back and the benefits they had promised him, but they kept making excuses not to.
The man’s initial complaint was submitted to the Pune police, who forwarded it to the Hinjewadi police. The Hinjewadi police registered the cheating complaint on Sunday following a preliminary investigation.
