Vardhman Group Chairman Duped in Elaborate Fake Supreme Court Scam

Industrialist SP Oswal was manipulated into transferring Rs 7 crore by fraudsters posing as CBI officials and staging a fake court hearing.

Fraudsters impersonated Chief Justice of India and held a fake Supreme Court hearing via video call to intimidate SP Oswal.
Oswal, 82, was told he was under investigation for money laundering and placed under 'digital arrest' for two days.
The scammers used highly convincing fake documents, including a Supreme Court order and an arrest warrant with official stamps.
Oswal transferred Rs 7 crore in multiple transactions but police have recovered over Rs 5 crore and arrested two suspects.
The case has been identified as the largest recovery in such a scam in India, with police continuing to search for additional suspects.
