The Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Police have registered a major fraud case involving fake online passes and tickets for high-profile Navratri events in the city. The formal complaint was lodged by a 41-year-old manager working with a private company, following a fraudulent scheme targeting the company’s popular Navratri celebration known as Anant Brahmand.
They also set up a deceptive email address mimicking the company domain to dupe unsuspecting citizens. Following the investigation, the Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Police have registered an FIR under relevant sections of the BNS and the Information Technology Act. Citizens who encounter suspicious links, fake social media pages, or fraudulent ticket sales are advised to report the incidents immediately.
The cybercrime branch has appealed to the public to contact the dedicated helpline number 1930 or approach the nearest police station so that timely action can be taken against cyber criminals. The scam took place between August 19 and October 14, according to the official police report. Unidentified fraudsters created a fake Instagram handle under the username veer.rajjputtt and used a mobile number ending in 808 to impersonate the event organisers.
