Doctor loses ₹21 lakh in alleged AI-based trading scam advertised on Facebook
HYDERABAD: A family physician working at Aditya Diagnostics and Medical Center has alleged that he lost ₹21,05,597 after investing in an online trading platform that he later discovered to be fraudulent.
According to the complaint, the doctor said he first noticed an advertisement on Facebook on May 20, 2025. The advertisement allegedly used the name of finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman and claimed that artificial intelligence-based trading could generate high profits with minimal risk.
The complainant said he clicked a link to the trading platform and later received a call from a person claiming to be a financial adviser from the United Kingdom. The adviser shared a registration link to the platform of Naka solutions, and persuaded him to start trading.
Initial investment through UPI
The victim said the platform operators told him the minimum deposit required was ₹21,000. After joining, he transferred ₹99,000 and ₹3,800 through Google Pay from his Union Bank account.
The complainant alleged that he was later contacted by a woman identifying herself as Sandra Holden, who claimed to be a trading expert. She reportedly convinced him that higher deposits would generate larger profits.
Further deposits through RTGS
Following these assurances, the doctor transferred ₹5,01,798 on July 15, 2025 through RTGS from his State Bank of India account. The beneficiary details were listed as Nagu Hasha Gadkha, holding an account at Bank of Maharashtra, Pen branch.
Later, another person identified as S Javid allegedly contacted him, claiming to be a financial head handling transactions. The complainant said he was asked to deposit additional money to facilitate withdrawals.
He subsequently transferred ₹15,00,000 to an account at Fino Payments Bank, Juinagar, the complaint stated.
Withdrawal attempts blocked
When the victim attempted to withdraw his profits, the platform operators allegedly demanded additional deposits, claiming that the account would otherwise be blocked.
The complainant said he later realised that the platform was fraudulent and stopped responding to the callers. By then, he had transferred a total of ₹21,05,597.
He also alleged that the company previously operated under the name Finbridge Solutions.
The victim has requested police to take legal action against the owners and operators of the platform. Police are examining the financial transactions and digital trail linked to the trading platform.
