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.
