Mumbai CA arrested for post on ‘Rs 3,000-crore scam involving corporate house’
MUMBAI: A 30-year-old chartered accountant (CA) has been arrested by Mumbai police over a “false and malicious” allegation on social media about a Rs 3,000-crore financial scam involving a corporate house.
Police said he uploaded the company’s bank statement and tagged it in a post stating that the amount had been deposited in its account.
The crime intelligence unit of Mumbai police has booked the Borivali-based CA, Mohit Jain, for cheating, forgery, breach of trust and defamation under Indian Penal Code as well as under IT Act.
The cyber cell of the south region had last December lodged a complaint that @satya_karma handler had posted fake news on X and had tagged some newspapers. In the post, an unknown person had alleged that there was a financial scam of Rs 3,000 crore and the amount had been deposited in the bank account of the company. The company lodged an FIR with police.
