A man from Dehradun approached the court seeking registration of an FIR over an alleged Rs 12 crore investment fraud. The complaint, filed before the additional civil judge (6th Senior Division), Dehradun, alleges that about 160 people in Dehradun have been defrauded. Following the court’s order, Raipur police have registered an FIR in the case.
As per the complaint, the alleged fraud was linked to online platforms, including BotBro, Yorker FX/YFX, Yorker Capital, Bot Alpha, Cross Market, TLC Coin and Mine Cryptos.
The complainant, Anoop Singh, alleged that the accused, Lavish Chaudhary alias Nawab Ali of Muzaffarnagar, had promoted these platforms through social media, WhatsApp groups, websites and meetings.
The complaint further states that investors were promised returns of five to six per cent per month through cryptocurrency and forex trading services. Singh alleged that he and other investors had deposited substantial amounts after taking these fraudsters at their face value. He realised what had happened after withdrawals were stopped from October onwards and the accused went untraceable.
Singh further said that he had approached Raipur police several times- on October 24, 2025 and also March 13 and May 23 this year. He also claimed to have submitted a complaint to the SSP, Dehradun, on March 16, but alleged that no FIR was registered.
