Himachal Resident Arrested in Ludhiana Over ₹6 million Fraud Case

The Economic Offences Wing of the Punjab Police announced that a 45‑year‑old resident of Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, was arrested in Ludhiana on suspicion of orchestrating a ₹6 million fraud. The suspect was detained at the Ludhiana police station after investigators linked him to a deceptive scheme involving agricultural commodities.
According to the police report, the accused approached a businessman from Panchkula, promising lucrative returns through the purchase and resale of farm produce. The victim transferred a total of ₹60 lakhs based on these assurances, but the promised transactions never materialised, prompting the victim to lodge a complaint.
Authorities have seized the suspect’s mobile devices and financial records as part of a broader probe. The case has been forwarded to the district court, and the police have warned the public to exercise caution when dealing with unsolicited investment offers, especially those related to agricultural trading.
The investigation remains ongoing, and further details will be released as the legal process unfolds.
