Kanpur Surgeon Files FIR Over Rs 5.5 Crore Share Trading Fraud
A prominent city-based surgeon from Kanpur has filed a formal police complaint alleging a massive financial fraud amounting to Rs 5.5 crore. Dr Shivakant Mishra, a resident of Sarvoday Nagar, has lodged an FIR at the Najirabad police station against Sushil Dhawan, accusing him of orchestrating an elaborate share trading scam.
Details of the Alleged Fraud
According to the detailed police complaint, Dr Mishra had been in contact with Dhawan's family for approximately 15 to 20 years. Sushil Dhawan, who operates a finance company and resides in the Motijheel area, allegedly advised the surgeon to invest in share trading by opening accounts in the names of his wife Dr Neelam Mishra, his son Dr Shivanshu, and their hospital.
The complainant stated that he invested around Rs 4.25 crore through cheques deposited into various accounts. The current estimated value of these investments has reportedly ballooned to approximately Rs 5.5 crore. However, when Dr Mishra attempted to withdraw the funds after noticing suspicious activities, Dhawan began making continuous excuses and delaying tactics.
Modus Operandi of the Accused
The FIR reveals that Sushil Dhawan allegedly used a fraudulent mobile application to display fake share statements and manipulated forged documents to embezzle the substantial funds. Dr Mishra further claimed in his complaint that Dhawan's wife Anjali Dhawan and their two daughters, Sonakshi and Vrinda, were actively involved in the alleged fraudulent scheme.
Police records indicate that Sushil Dhawan already has eight separate FIRs registered against him prior to this latest complaint, suggesting a pattern of alleged financial misconduct.
Police Response and Investigation Status
Local authorities at Najirabad police station have confirmed that a formal case has been registered based on Dr Mishra's complaint. The police have initiated a comprehensive investigation into the matter, examining all financial transactions, documents, and digital evidence related to the alleged fraud.
Law enforcement officials have stated that they are pursuing all leads and will be questioning all named individuals in the case as part of their ongoing investigation. The case highlights growing concerns about sophisticated financial frauds targeting professional individuals through personal connections and fake investment platforms.
