The complainant, Sanjay Kishore Prajapati, 37, said he was browsing Facebook when he encountered the link promising expert guidance on stock market trading. Upon clicking it, he was added to a WhatsApp group run by unknown individuals who presented themselves as market experts. Following their investment advice, Prajapati ended up transferring Rs 8.92 lakh into various accounts over the time.
