In Panipat’s Vikas Nagar, Street No. 3, a raid was recently carried out, leading to the seizure of several bank accounts tied to a large-scale fraud case. Allegedly, an online trading scam has been running for the past year and a half, laundering crores of rupees through various accounts. Following the raid, the accused youth and his family reportedly fled from the scene. Within this short period, the individual is believed to have acquired property valued in crores.
CBI Targets Panipat Residence in Online Trading Fraud Investigation
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted a high-profile raid on the residence of Jitendra Dahiya, a young man alleged to have defrauded people of several crores by promising high returns through online trading, investments, and stock market ventures. The raid occurred at his residence in Vikas Nagar, Ward 16, around midday and continued until late at night. In the wake of the raid, Dahiya and his family are now on the run, evading authorities.
Allegations of Fraud Through Investment Scheme
For the past 18 months, Dahiya has been reported to have operated an investment firm that channelled funds from individuals into the stock market. Enticing people with promises of high profits, he accepted funds through online banking transactions. Reportedly, his personal and company accounts held several crores. As part of their investigation, the CBI has frozen these accounts. Alongside financial improprieties, Dahiya also has several criminal charges against him, and he had recently been released from jail related to one of these cases.
Large CBI Team Conducts Extensive Search
Led by CBI officer Akhilesh Pandey, a team of about 20 officials, including both male and female officers, conducted a thorough search of Dahiya’s residence. They examined every potential hiding spot but were unsuccessful in locating him. Authorities believe that Dahiya has amassed substantial property across the state over the past year and a half, with assets registered under the names of family members and relatives. This rapid accumulation of wealth and property raised further suspicions.
Escape and Evasion
The CBI team, in collaboration with local police, surrounded Lane No. 3 in Vikas Nagar. However, upon realizing the presence of the authorities, Dahiya and his family reportedly fled, escaping from the roof with bags in hand. Inside his home, the CBI uncovered various documents, which are now under review as part of the ongoing investigation. Despite extensive questioning, the CBI officers refrained from disclosing further details about the case.
CBI Gathers Information From Locals and Seals Residence
To obtain leads on Dahiya’s activities, the CBI gathered information from neighbours regarding his recent whereabouts, business operations, and possible hiding locations. The residence was eventually sealed after a comprehensive search. The raid and follow-up inquiries continued well into the night, marking a significant step in the investigation.
