Vardhman Group Chairman SP Oswal Defrauded of ₹7 Crore by Scammers Posing as CBI Officials
Punjab Police have arrested two suspects and recovered ₹5.25 crore, while seven others remain at large.
- SP Oswal was duped by cyber fraudsters who impersonated CBI officials and placed him under digital surveillance.
- The scammers staged a fake Supreme Court hearing and used fake documents to convince Oswal to transfer ₹7 crore.
- The fraudsters threatened Oswal with a fake arrest warrant and claimed he was involved in a money-laundering case.
- Two suspects from Assam have been arrested, and ₹5.25 crore has been recovered, but seven others are still being sought.
- This incident follows a similar scam a week earlier, where another local industrialist was defrauded of ₹1.01 crore.
