Businessman Raj Kundra’s lawyer, Prashant Patil, has issued a statement on behalf of his client in response to a fraud scheme carried out using Kundra’s name. Reports indicate that a 73-year-old man was duped by someone posing as a police officer from Uttar Pradesh, who falsely implicated him in a so-called ‘Raj Kundra money laundering fraud’ and conned him into paying ₹25 lakhs. After realizing the deception, the victim filed an FIR at the Cyber Crime station in Pune.
Patil explained, “It has come to our attention through public reports that certain cybercriminals are exploiting my client Raj Kundra’s name and alleged ongoing investigation to commit fraud. These criminals impersonate police officers from various states across India to deceive people. My client urges anyone who has fallen prey to such fraudulent schemes to immediately contact the crime branch and file a criminal complaint against these imposters. Law enforcement must act swiftly to apprehend and bring to justice those responsible for these cybercrimes.”
