According to the police, Anwar, who is a Class 12 pass-out, created an Instagram account called Crypto_Anaisha through which he had been allegedly duping people by claiming he could double their money in 30 to 35 minutes by investing it in crypto currency.
A day after The Indian Express reported on the arrest of a 21-year-old Kolkata-based man who allegedly duped several people by promising to “double their investment within minutes”, the Kalachowkie police on Saturday said three social media influencers have also been booked in the case.
The police said the social media influencers — Akshay Athare, Mansi Suravase and Ankita Bhagat — helped promote the crypto scamster Instagram account.
