Mumbai Police Book Four in Student’s Scam-Linked Suicide as Separate ₹1.15 Crore Case Filed

Investigators describe online cons built on small initial payouts with sustained pressure on victims.

Overview

  • Kurla GRP registered an abetment-to-suicide case in the July 17 death of a 20-year-old student and booked four account-holders who received his transfers.
  • Probe findings say the student was lured by a quiz-style trading platform, lost about ₹1.8 lakh, and faced persistent demands on Telegram to keep paying.
  • Police say some money moved to bank accounts in Madhya Pradesh and other states, with teams being sent to addresses linked to those accounts.
  • A bank reversed a ₹1.24 lakh payment after flagging the beneficiary account as fraudulent, according to investigators.
  • In a separate Navi Mumbai case, Sanpada Police filed criminal breach of trust and abetment-to-suicide charges after a retiree’s ₹1.15 crore loss and a suicide note naming accused, with the investigation ongoing.
