In Pune, two people got tricked in a big stock market scam, losing a total of ₹52 lakh. This happened because of fake investment offers, and it shows how cybercrime is growing in India. The local police are now paying more attention to keeping people safe from these scams.

In the first case, a 52-year-old man from Tingrenagar got a surprise text message about making a lot of money in the stock market. He started using a platform called Mahibhanara. The scammers used smart tricks to make him invest more and more money, promising him big returns. Sadly, he lost ₹38.64 lakh before realizing it was a scam.

The second case was about a woman from Katraj who also got tricked by scammers sending her messages about investments. They used similar methods and managed to take ₹13.28 lakh from her. This shows that the fraudsters have a planned way to cheat people online.

The police, especially the Crime Branch and Ambegaon Police, are investigating both cases. They're looking at digital clues and money transactions to find the people responsible. They want to understand how the scammers used the Mahibhanara platform and their communication methods.

Authorities are reminding everyone to be very careful with unexpected investment offers, even if they sound real. They suggest checking with trusted financial advisors and official bodies before investing money, especially in schemes that promise quick and high returns.

As they continue their investigation, the police are also improving how they monitor cybercrime to stop more scams. They're working hard to help the victims get their lost money back.
