Delhi CA Loses Rs. 47 Lakh in International Stock Trading Scam; 3 Arrested
A Chartered Accountant (CA) from Delhi thought he was making smart investments in the stock market. However, he was actually trapped in a clever trading scam and ended up losing more than Rs. 47 lakhs. Later, the police found out that the scam was run by three men who were working for a Chinese handler.
On October 27, 2025, Delhi Police’s Crime Branch arrested three men- Sahil Yadav (25 years old), Aryan (22 years old), and Ashish Kumar, alias Jack (36 years old). All three of them are from Bihar. They were arrested for allegedly creating a maze of fake accounts and a shell company to launder money from unsuspecting investors.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Aditya Gautam said that the three men operated a fake company called Bubai Instant Shop OPC Pvt. Ltd. to channel the money. Their arrest came after an e-FIR was filed in June, when the chartered accountant realized he had been cheated through a fake website that looked like a real trading platform- stock.durocaspitall.com.
Aditya Gautam further added, CA was influenced through a Telegram group promising ‘Buy Today-Sell Tomorrow’ trading tips and daily profits, but when he started investigating, his money was quietly rerouted through multiple bank accounts.
Police said that out of the Rs. 47.23 lakh the victim lost, Rs. 31.45 lakh went into bank accounts connected to the suspects. Of this, Rs. 23.80 lakh was moved through their fake (shell) company. Investigators later discovered that the group had opened seven different bank accounts to move the money around.
The three suspects were working from a rented office in Noida. They were reportedly taking orders from a Chinese man known as Tom, who had hired them through the Telegram app in December 2024. According to the police, they were promised a 1% to 1.5% commission for every Rs. 1 crore of money they laundered.
After tracking them through technical surveillance, police found the men in Greater Noida and arrested them. Officers said the suspects were using fake documents and SIM cards to hide their identities.
Gautam added that police are now trying to trace where the money went and find Tom, who is believed to be the main person behind this international scam.
