NAHARLAGUN, Oct 16: In a major breakthrough, the Naharlagun Police arrested the absconding accused Deepak Khatri, who was involved in a massive ₹46 lakh financial fraud under the guise of an investment scheme operated through FXSTOCK Corporation Limited.
According to police, the case originated from a complaint received in 2023, alleging that Deepak Khatri, who claimed to be the Core Team Member and North East In-charge of FXSTOCK Corporation Limited (operating via websites www.fxstockcorp.com and www.fxst.org), had approached several individuals in Naharlagun since 2023, promoting a deceptive investment scheme with promises of 12% or higher returns.
Following the complaint, a case was registered at Naharlagun Police Station under NLG/PS/Case No. 119/25 U/S 316(2)(5)/318(4)/3(5) BNS.
After a month-long surveillance operation spanning Uttarakhand and Delhi, the Naharlagun Police team—led by SI B.P. Singh, HC Kanto Samyor, and HC Lham Tsering, under the supervision of Insp. Krishnendu Dev (OC, PS Naharlagun) and the overall guidance of Dr. Nyelam Nega,  SP ICR Naharlagun—successfully apprehended Deepak Khatri a resident of Shastra Dhar Road, Dehradun, from Saket, New Delhi, on October 13.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Khatri had lured multiple victims by offering a “safe” and “high-return” investment opportunity. Each investor was instructed to pay ₹9,200 as a registration and activation fee, falsely assured that the amount was refundable.
Misled by these claims, around 503 individuals invested a total of ₹46,27,000, which was later found to have been fraudulently misappropriated. The investigation has confirmed that the entire operation was a well-planned financial scam designed to cheat the public through deliberate misrepresentation and false assurances.
Superintendent of Police, Dr. Nyelam Nega, has urged the public to exercise caution against online and offline investment schemes that promise unrealistic returns. He also advised citizens to verify the authenticity of companies and digital platforms before investing their hard-earned money.
Police sources confirmed that further investigation is ongoing to trace the money trail and identify other possible accomplices involved in the fraudulent network.
